Licensed to Arne Henden
02:13:27 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:13:27 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:13:27   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:13:27 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:13:28 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:13:28 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:13:28 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:13:28 Dome is MaxDome
02:13:28 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:13:28 Imager is ASCOM
02:13:28 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:13:28 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240222@021254 UTC
02:13:28 Imager readout modes:
02:13:28   0 is Fast
02:13:28   1 is Normal
02:13:28 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:13:28 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:13:28 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:13:28 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:13:28 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:13:28 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:13:28 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:13:28 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:13:28 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:13:28 ==== Starting target AE_And ====
02:13:28 ACPS Observation AE_And(1 of 1)
02:13:28   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P251_MSD_AUTO_ver2819, Plan AE_And)
02:13:28   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:13:29 Pointing updates are enabled
02:13:29 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:13:29   Start slew to AE_And...
02:13:30   (wait for slew to complete)
02:13:55   (slew complete)

02:13:55   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:13:55   Focus change of -290 steps required
02:13:59   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:13:59   (using Fast readout mode)
02:14:00   (starting exposure)
02:14:24   (exposure complete)
02:14:27   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:14:28   Image finished
02:14:28   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:14:29   347 image stars found
02:14:29   297 catalog stars found
02:14:30   Solved! 110 stars matched.
02:14:30   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
02:14:30   Pointing error is 0.264 arcmin @ angle 352.81
02:14:30   True focal length is 3465.5 mm.
02:14:30   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:14:30   True image center (J2000): 00h 43m 02.3s   41° 49' 27.90"
02:14:30   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
02:14:30   [sync] pointing model updated
02:14:30   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:14:30   Target is now centered.
02:14:30   (high cadence option, no web previews)

02:16:15 **No stars at all found in guider image
02:16:15 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
02:16:15 **Autoguiding failed.
