Licensed to Arne Henden
05:27:49 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:27:49 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:27:49   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:27:49 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:27:51 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:27:51 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:27:51 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:27:51 Dome is MaxDome
05:27:51 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:27:51 Imager is ASCOM
05:27:51 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:27:51 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240219@052439 UTC
05:27:51 Imager readout modes:
05:27:51   0 is Fast
05:27:51   1 is Normal
05:27:51 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:27:51 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:27:51 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:27:51 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:27:51 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:27:51 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:27:51 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:27:51 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:27:51 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:27:51 ==== Starting target IR_Com ====
05:27:51 ACPS Observation IR_Com(1 of 1)
05:27:51   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan IR_Com)
05:27:51   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:27:51 Pointing updates are enabled
05:27:51 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:27:51   Start slew to IR_Com...
05:27:53   (wait for slew to complete)
05:29:18   (slew complete)
05:29:18     [flip check:  Tn=600s HAc=-15813s GW=T HAz=-15213s DWz=T WF=no]
05:29:18   Updating pointing...
05:29:18   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:29:18   Focus change of -290 steps required
05:29:21   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:29:21   (using Fast readout mode)
05:29:21   (starting exposure)
05:29:46   (exposure complete)
05:29:49   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:29:50   Image finished
05:29:50   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:29:51   165 image stars found
05:29:51   151 catalog stars found
05:29:52   Solved! 42 stars matched.
05:29:52   Average residual is 0.39 arcsec.
05:29:52   Pointing error is 1.420 arcmin @ angle 103.45
05:29:52   True focal length is 3468.7 mm.
05:29:52   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
05:29:52   True image center (J2000): 12h 39m 38.1s   21° 07' 46.57"
05:29:52   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
05:29:52   [sync] pointing model updated
05:29:52   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
05:29:52   Target is now centered.
05:29:52   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:29:52   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
05:29:52   Switching from SR to R filter for imaging
05:29:52   Focus change of 270 steps required
05:29:56   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:30:10   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
05:30:11 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:30:11 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:30:23   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1359 Y=470.9982
05:30:24 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:30:24 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
05:30:24 **Autoguiding failed.
