Licensed to Arne Henden
06:46:43 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:46:43 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:46:43   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:46:43 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:46:44 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:46:44 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:46:44 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:46:44 Dome is MaxDome
06:46:44 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:46:44 Imager is ASCOM
06:46:44 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:46:44 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240219@064311 UTC
06:46:44 Imager readout modes:
06:46:44   0 is Fast
06:46:44   1 is Normal
06:46:44 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:46:44 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:46:44 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:46:44 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:46:44 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:46:44 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:46:44 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:46:44 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:46:44 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:46:44 ==== Starting target HS1340+1524 ====
06:46:44 ACPS Observation HS1340+1524(1 of 1)
06:46:45   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan HS1340+1524)
06:46:45   (turning on sidereal tracking)
06:46:45 Pointing updates are enabled
06:46:45 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
06:46:45   Start slew to HS1340+1524...
06:46:46   (wait for slew to complete)
06:48:57   (slew complete)

06:48:57   Updating pointing...
06:48:57   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
06:48:57   Focus change of -320 steps required
06:49:01   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
06:49:01   (using Fast readout mode)
06:49:01   (starting exposure)
06:49:27   (exposure complete)
06:49:29   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
06:49:30   Image finished
06:49:30   Plate-solve pointing image.
06:49:31   167 image stars found
06:49:31   113 catalog stars found
06:49:32   Solved! 11 stars matched.
06:49:32   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
06:49:32   Pointing error is 1.341 arcmin @ angle 95.50
06:49:32   True focal length is 3491.4 mm.
06:49:32   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
06:49:32   True image center (J2000): 13h 43m 28.9s   15° 09' 08.28"
06:49:32   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
06:49:32   [sync] pointing model updated
06:49:32   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
06:49:32   Target is now centered.
06:49:32   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:49:32   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
06:49:32   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
06:49:32   Focus change of 290 steps required
06:49:36   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:49:49   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
06:49:50 **No stars at all found in guider image
06:49:50 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:50:03   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1027.13 Y=944.9177
06:50:03 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:50:03 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
06:50:03 **Autoguiding failed.
