Licensed to Arne Henden
02:48:03 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:48:03 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:48:03   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:48:03 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:48:05 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:48:05 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:48:05 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:48:05 Dome is MaxDome
02:48:05 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:48:05 Imager is ASCOM
02:48:05 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:48:05 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20240217@024543 UTC
02:48:05 Imager readout modes:
02:48:05   0 is Fast
02:48:05   1 is Normal
02:48:05 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:48:05 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:48:05 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:48:05 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:48:05 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:48:05 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:48:05 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:48:05 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:48:05 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:48:05 ==== Starting target J072816 ====
02:48:05 ACPS Observation J072816(1 of 1)
02:48:05   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan J072816)
02:48:05   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:48:05 Pointing updates are enabled
02:48:05 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:48:05   Start slew to J072816...
02:48:07   (wait for slew to complete)
02:49:22   (slew complete)
02:49:22     [flip check:  Tn=480s HAc=-7353s GW=T HAz=-6873s DWz=T WF=no]
02:49:22   Updating pointing...
02:49:22   Switching from SU to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:49:22   No focus change required
02:49:22   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:49:22   (using Fast readout mode)
02:49:22   (starting exposure)
02:49:43   (exposure complete)
02:49:45   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:49:46   Image finished
02:49:46   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:49:47   359 image stars found
02:49:47   313 catalog stars found
02:49:48   Solved! 112 stars matched.
02:49:48   Average residual is 0.37 arcsec.
02:49:48   Pointing error is 0.617 arcmin @ angle 201.29
02:49:48   True focal length is 3469.4 mm.
02:49:48   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:49:48   True image center (J2000): 07h 28m 14.7s   75° 15' 40.70"
02:49:48   Imager sky position angle is 178.6 deg.
02:49:48   [sync] pointing model updated
02:49:48   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:49:48   Target is now centered.
02:49:48   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:49:48   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
02:49:48   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
02:49:48   Focus change of -20 steps required
02:49:50   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
02:50:04   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1010 Y=292
02:50:05   (guide star SNR=4.4 X=1009 Y=292)
02:50:05   (first exposure estimate 3.39 sec)
02:50:12 **No stars at all found in guider image
02:50:12 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
02:50:12 **Autoguiding failed.
