Licensed to Arne Henden
02:23:24 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:23:24 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:23:24   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:23:24 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:23:26 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:23:26 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:23:26 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:23:26 Dome is MaxDome
02:23:26 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:23:26 Imager is ASCOM
02:23:26 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:23:26 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240217@021628 UTC
02:23:26 Imager readout modes:
02:23:26   0 is Fast
02:23:26   1 is Normal
02:23:26 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:23:26 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:23:26 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:23:26 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:23:26 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:23:26 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:23:26 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:23:26 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:23:26 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:23:26 ==== Starting target V630_Cas ====
02:23:26 ACPS Observation V630_Cas(1 of 1)
02:23:26   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan V630_Cas)
02:23:26   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:23:26 Pointing updates are enabled
02:23:26 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:23:26   Start slew to V630_Cas...
02:23:28   (wait for slew to complete)
02:23:47   (slew complete)

02:23:47   Updating pointing...
02:23:47   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:23:47   Focus change of -320 steps required
02:23:51   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:23:51   (using Fast readout mode)
02:23:51   (starting exposure)
02:24:17   (exposure complete)
02:24:20   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:24:21   Image finished
02:24:21   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:24:22   1303 image stars found
02:24:22   447 catalog stars found
02:24:23   Solved! 166 stars matched.
02:24:23   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
02:24:23   Pointing error is 0.191 arcmin @ angle 119.21
02:24:23   True focal length is 3468.2 mm.
02:24:23   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:24:23   True image center (J2000): 23h 48m 53.1s   51° 27' 33.40"
02:24:23   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
02:24:23   [sync] pointing model updated
02:24:23   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:24:23   Target is now centered.
02:24:23   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:24:23   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
02:24:23   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
02:24:23   Focus change of 290 steps required
02:24:27   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
02:24:41   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1149.418 Y=169.1632

02:26:03   Imaging to V630_Cas_V_20240217_022603_T3
02:26:03   (taking 180 sec. exposure, V filter, binning = 2)
02:26:03   (using Normal readout mode)
02:26:15 **Guider waited for 10 sec and never got a measurement
02:26:15 **Guider stopped or lost star just before image acquisition
