Licensed to Arne Henden
02:56:42 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:56:42 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:56:42   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:56:42 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:56:43 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:56:43 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:56:43 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:56:43 Dome is MaxDome
02:56:43 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:56:43 Imager is ASCOM
02:56:43 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:56:43 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240219@025336 UTC
02:56:43 Imager readout modes:
02:56:43   0 is Fast
02:56:43   1 is Normal
02:56:43 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:56:43 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:56:43 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:56:43 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:56:43 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:56:43 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:56:43 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:56:43 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:56:43 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

02:56:43   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan J072816)
02:56:43   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:56:43 Pointing updates are enabled
02:56:43 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0

02:57:38   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:57:38   Focus change of -290 steps required
02:57:41   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:57:41   (using Fast readout mode)
02:57:41   (starting exposure)
02:58:06   (exposure complete)
02:58:08   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:58:09   Image finished
02:58:09   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:58:10   354 image stars found
02:58:10   313 catalog stars found
02:58:11   Solved! 110 stars matched.
02:58:11   Average residual is 0.35 arcsec.
02:58:11   Pointing error is 1.110 arcmin @ angle 135.25
02:58:11   True focal length is 3469.1 mm.
02:58:11   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:58:11   True image center (J2000): 07h 28m 30.6s   75° 15' 27.87"
02:58:11   Imager sky position angle is 178.6 deg.
02:58:11   [sync] pointing model updated
02:58:11   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:58:11   Target is now centered.
02:58:11   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:58:11   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
02:58:11   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
02:58:11   Focus change of -20 steps required
02:58:13   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
02:58:27   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=943.0889 Y=209.9707
02:58:28   (guide star SNR=4.1 X=943 Y=209)
02:58:28   (first exposure estimate 3.64 sec)
02:58:35   (guide star SNR=3.4 X=938 Y=205)
02:58:35   (final exposure for guiding 3.19 sec)
02:58:42   (guide star SNR=3.0 X=937 Y=205)
02:59:00 **Guider waited for 15.95 sec and never got a measurement
02:59:01   (take guider image at initial interval 3.19 sec)
02:59:07   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
02:59:08 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:59:08 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
02:59:21   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1027.222 Y=945.1477
02:59:21 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:59:21 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
02:59:21 **Autoguiding failed.
