This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
10:34:12 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:34:12 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:34:12   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:34:12 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:34:13 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:34:13 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:34:13 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:34:13 Dome is MaxDome
10:34:13 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:34:13 Imager is ASCOM
10:34:13 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:34:13 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240221@102631 UTC
10:34:13 Imager readout modes:
10:34:13   0 is Fast
10:34:13   1 is Normal
10:34:13 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:34:13 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:34:13 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:34:13 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:34:13 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:34:13 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:34:13 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:34:13 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:34:13 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:34:13 ==== Starting target X_Ser ====
10:34:13 ACPS Observation X_Ser(1 of 1)
10:34:13   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_MRV_AUTO_ver3136, Plan X_Ser)
10:34:13   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:34:13 Pointing updates are enabled
10:34:13 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:34:13   Start slew to X_Ser...
10:34:15   (wait for slew to complete)
10:34:44   (slew complete)

10:34:44   Updating pointing...
10:34:44   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:34:44   Focus change of -320 steps required
10:34:48   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:34:48   (using Fast readout mode)
10:34:48   (starting exposure)
10:35:13   (exposure complete)
10:35:16   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:35:17   Image finished
10:35:17   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:35:18   520 image stars found
10:35:18   193 catalog stars found
10:35:19   Solved! 86 stars matched.
10:35:19   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
10:35:19   Pointing error is 3.771 arcmin @ angle 277.32
10:35:19   True focal length is 3468.1 mm.
10:35:19   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
10:35:19   True image center (J2000): 16h 19m 02.7s   -02° 29' 00.77"
10:35:19   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
10:35:19   [sync] pointing model updated
10:35:19   Re-slew to target.
10:35:19   Start slew to X_Ser...
10:35:21   (wait for slew to complete)
10:35:30   (slew complete)
10:35:30   Target is now centered.
10:35:30   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:35:30   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
10:35:30   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
10:35:30   Focus change of 320 steps required
10:35:34   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:35:47   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1358.724 Y=471.1716
10:35:48 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:35:48 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:36:01   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=173.3517 Y=386.5026
10:36:01   (guide star SNR=40.3 X=174 Y=386)
10:36:01   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
10:36:06   (guide star SNR=5.3 X=171 Y=384)
10:36:06   (final exposure for guiding 1 sec)
10:36:11   (guide star SNR=5.2 X=172 Y=385)
10:36:33 **Guider waited for 10 sec and never got a measurement
10:36:34   (take guider image at initial interval 1 sec)
10:36:38   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=155.662 Y=433.0293
10:36:39   (guide star SNR=5.2 X=155 Y=433)
10:36:39   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
10:36:44 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:36:44 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
10:36:44 **Autoguiding failed.
