Licensed to Arne Henden
03:02:44 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:02:44 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:02:44   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:02:44 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:02:45 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:02:45 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:02:45 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:02:45 Dome is MaxDome
03:02:45 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:02:45 Imager is ASCOM
03:02:45 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:02:45 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240219@030139 UTC
03:02:45 Imager readout modes:
03:02:45   0 is Fast
03:02:45   1 is Normal
03:02:45 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:02:45 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:02:45 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:02:45 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:02:45 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:02:45 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:02:45 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:02:45 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:02:45 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:02:45 ==== Starting target GZ_Cnc ====
03:02:45 ACPS Observation GZ_Cnc(1 of 1)
03:02:45   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan GZ_Cnc)
03:02:45   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:02:45 Pointing updates are enabled
03:02:45 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:02:45   Start slew to GZ_Cnc...
03:02:47   (wait for slew to complete)
03:03:57   (slew complete)
03:03:57     [flip check:  Tn=540s HAc=-12343s GW=T HAz=-11803s DWz=T WF=no]
03:03:57   Updating pointing...
03:03:57   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:03:57   (using Fast readout mode)
03:03:57   (starting exposure)
03:04:12   (exposure complete)
03:04:16   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:04:17   Image finished
03:04:17   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:04:17   248 image stars found
03:04:17   127 catalog stars found
03:04:18   Solved! 40 stars matched.
03:04:18   Average residual is 0.29 arcsec.
03:04:18   Pointing error is 1.443 arcmin @ angle 81.85
03:04:18   True focal length is 3468.0 mm.
03:04:18   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:04:18   True image center (J2000): 09h 15m 57.5s   09° 01' 00.28"
03:04:18   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
03:04:19   [sync] pointing model updated
03:04:19   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:04:19   Target is now centered.
03:04:19   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:04:19   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
03:04:19   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
03:04:19   Focus change of 290 steps required
03:04:22   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:04:35   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1018.009 Y=565
03:04:36 **No stars at all found in guider image
03:04:36 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:04:49   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1144 Y=527
03:04:49 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:04:49 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
03:04:49 **Autoguiding failed.
