This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
04:13:26 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:13:26 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:13:26   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:13:26 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:13:27 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:13:27 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:13:27 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:13:27 Dome is MaxDome
04:13:27 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:13:27 Imager is ASCOM
04:13:27 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:13:27 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240217@041150 UTC
04:13:27 Imager readout modes:
04:13:27   0 is Fast
04:13:27   1 is Normal
04:13:27 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:13:27 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:13:27 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:13:27 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:13:27 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:13:27 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:13:27 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:13:27 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:13:27 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:13:27 ==== Starting target U_Leo ====
04:13:27 ACPS Observation U_Leo(1 of 1)
04:13:27   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan U_Leo)
04:13:27   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:13:27 Pointing updates are enabled
04:13:27 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:13:27   Start slew to U_Leo...
04:13:29   (wait for slew to complete)
04:14:39   (slew complete)
04:14:39     [flip check:  Tn=600s HAc=-12655s GW=T HAz=-12055s DWz=T WF=no]
04:14:39   Updating pointing...
04:14:39   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:14:39   Focus change of -320 steps required
04:14:43   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:14:43   (using Fast readout mode)
04:14:43   (starting exposure)
04:15:08   (exposure complete)
04:15:11   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:15:12   Image finished
04:15:12   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:15:13   207 image stars found
04:15:13   150 catalog stars found
04:15:14   Solved! 47 stars matched.
04:15:14   Average residual is 0.29 arcsec.
04:15:14   Pointing error is 1.672 arcmin @ angle 259.70
04:15:14   True focal length is 3465.3 mm.
04:15:14   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
04:15:14   True image center (J2000): 10h 23m 57.0s   14° 00' 08.06"
04:15:14   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
04:15:14   [sync] pointing model updated
04:15:14   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
04:15:14   Target is now centered.
04:15:14   (high cadence option, no web previews)
04:15:14   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
04:15:14   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
04:15:14   Focus change of 290 steps required
04:15:18   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:15:32   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
04:15:33 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:15:33 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
04:15:46   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=452.168 Y=347
04:15:46 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:15:47 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
04:15:47 **Autoguiding failed.
