Licensed to Arne Henden
10:19:26 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:19:26 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:19:26   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:19:26 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:19:27 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:19:27 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:19:27 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:19:27 Dome is MaxDome
10:19:27 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:19:27 Imager is ASCOM
10:19:27 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:19:27 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240221@101522 UTC
10:19:27 Imager readout modes:
10:19:27   0 is Fast
10:19:27   1 is Normal
10:19:27 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:19:27 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:19:27 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:19:27 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:19:27 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:19:27 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:19:27 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:19:27 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:19:27 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:19:27 ==== Starting target HS1340+1524 ====
10:19:27 ACPS Observation HS1340+1524(1 of 1)
10:19:27   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan HS1340+1524)
10:19:27   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:19:27 Pointing updates are enabled
10:19:27 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:19:27   Start slew to HS1340+1524...
10:19:29   (wait for slew to complete)
10:19:58   (slew complete)
10:19:58     [flip check:  Tn=480s HAc=-1681s GW=T HAz=-1201s DWz=T WF=no]
10:19:58   Updating pointing...
10:19:58   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:19:58   Focus change of -50 steps required
10:20:01   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:20:01   (using Fast readout mode)
10:20:01   (starting exposure)
10:20:23   (exposure complete)
10:20:25   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:20:26   Image finished
10:20:26   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:20:27   263 image stars found
10:20:27   113 catalog stars found
10:20:28   Solved! 36 stars matched.
10:20:28   Average residual is 0.28 arcsec.
10:20:28   Pointing error is 0.391 arcmin @ angle 21.41
10:20:28   True focal length is 3468.8 mm.
10:20:28   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
10:20:28   True image center (J2000): 13h 43m 24.0s   15° 09' 37.86"
10:20:28   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
10:20:28   [sync] pointing model updated
10:20:28   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:20:28   Target is now centered.
10:20:28   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:20:28   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
10:20:28   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
10:20:28   Focus change of 290 steps required
10:20:32   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:20:46   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=723 Y=913
10:20:47 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:20:47 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:21:00   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=813.0375 Y=450.1432
10:21:00 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:21:00 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
10:21:00 **Autoguiding failed.
