Licensed to Arne Henden
07:14:18 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:14:18 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:14:18   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:14:18 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:14:19 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:14:19 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:14:19 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:14:19 Dome is MaxDome
07:14:19 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:14:19 Imager is ASCOM
07:14:19 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:14:19 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240217@071213 UTC
07:14:19 Imager readout modes:
07:14:19   0 is Fast
07:14:19   1 is Normal
07:14:19 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:14:19 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:14:19 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:14:19 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:14:19 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:14:19 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:14:19 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:14:19 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:14:19 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:14:19 ==== Starting target U_Leo ====
07:14:19 ACPS Observation U_Leo(1 of 1)
07:14:19   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_SFY_AUTO_ver2706, Plan U_Leo)
07:14:19   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:14:19 Pointing updates are enabled
07:14:19 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
07:14:19   Start slew to U_Leo...
07:14:21   (wait for slew to complete)
07:15:01   (slew complete)
07:15:01     [flip check:  Tn=600s HAc=-1803s GW=T HAz=-1203s DWz=T WF=no]
07:15:01   Updating pointing...
07:15:01   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
07:15:01   Focus change of 20 steps required
07:15:03   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:15:03   (using Fast readout mode)
07:15:03   (starting exposure)
07:15:21   (exposure complete)
07:15:23   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
07:15:24   Image finished
07:15:24   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:15:25   284 image stars found
07:15:25   150 catalog stars found
07:15:26   Solved! 40 stars matched.
07:15:26   Average residual is 0.38 arcsec.
07:15:26   Pointing error is 2.909 arcmin @ angle 268.49
07:15:26   True focal length is 3469.5 mm.
07:15:26   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
07:15:26   True image center (J2000): 10h 23m 51.8s   14° 00' 21.39"
07:15:26   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
07:15:26   [sync] pointing model updated
07:15:26   Re-slew to target.
07:15:26   Start slew to U_Leo...
07:15:30   (wait for slew to complete)
07:15:40   (slew complete)
07:15:40   Target is now centered.
07:15:40   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:15:40   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
07:15:40   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
07:15:40   Focus change of 290 steps required
07:15:44   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:15:58   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1161 Y=865
07:15:58 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:15:59 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:16:11   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=509.7433 Y=301.3681
07:16:12 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:16:12 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
07:16:12 **Autoguiding failed.
