Licensed to Arne Henden
04:19:26 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:19:26 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:19:26   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:19:26 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:19:27 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:19:27 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:19:27 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:19:27 Dome is MaxDome
04:19:27 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:19:27 Imager is ASCOM
04:19:27 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:19:27 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240219@041823 UTC
04:19:27 Imager readout modes:
04:19:27   0 is Fast
04:19:27   1 is Normal
04:19:27 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:19:27 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:19:27 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:19:27 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:19:27 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:19:27 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:19:27 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:19:27 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:19:27 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:19:27 ==== Starting target U_Leo ====
04:19:27 ACPS Observation U_Leo(1 of 1)
04:19:27   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan U_Leo)
04:19:27   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:19:27 Pointing updates are enabled
04:19:27 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:19:27   Start slew to U_Leo...
04:19:29   (wait for slew to complete)
04:20:39   (slew complete)
04:20:39     [flip check:  Tn=600s HAc=-11820s GW=T HAz=-11220s DWz=T WF=no]
04:20:39   Updating pointing...
04:20:39   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:20:39   (using Fast readout mode)
04:20:39   (starting exposure)
04:20:54   (exposure complete)
04:20:57   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:20:59   Image finished
04:20:59   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:20:59   172 image stars found
04:20:59   150 catalog stars found
04:21:00   Solved! 48 stars matched.
04:21:00   Average residual is 0.35 arcsec.
04:21:00   Pointing error is 1.238 arcmin @ angle 88.08
04:21:00   True focal length is 3470.8 mm.
04:21:00   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
04:21:00   True image center (J2000): 10h 24m 08.9s   14° 00' 28.48"
04:21:00   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
04:21:00   [sync] pointing model updated
04:21:00   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
04:21:00   Target is now centered.
04:21:00   (high cadence option, no web previews)
04:21:00   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
04:21:00   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
04:21:00   Focus change of 290 steps required
04:21:04   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:21:18   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1248.033 Y=532.0128
04:21:19 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:21:19 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
04:21:32   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=759.0983 Y=797.4608
04:21:32   (guide star SNR=4.7 X=759 Y=797)
04:21:32   (first exposure estimate 6.32 sec)
04:21:43   (guide star SNR=2.9 X=759 Y=796)
04:21:43   (final exposure for guiding 6.43 sec)
04:21:53   (guide star SNR=2.8 X=758 Y=794)
04:22:30 **Guider waited for 32.15 sec and never got a measurement
04:22:31   (take guider image at initial interval 6.43 sec)
04:22:40   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=225 Y=841
04:22:40 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:22:40 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
04:22:53   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=724 Y=360
04:22:54 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:22:54 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
04:22:54 **Autoguiding failed.
