Licensed to Arne Henden
06:30:54 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:30:54 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:30:54   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:30:54 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:30:55 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:30:55 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:30:55 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:30:55 Dome is MaxDome
06:30:55 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:30:55 Imager is ASCOM
06:30:55 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:30:55 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240222@062739 UTC
06:30:55 Imager readout modes:
06:30:55   0 is Fast
06:30:55   1 is Normal
06:30:55 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:30:55 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:30:55 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:30:55 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:30:55 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:30:55 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:30:55 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:30:55 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:30:55 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:30:56 ==== Starting target HS1340+1524 ====
06:30:56 ACPS Observation HS1340+1524(1 of 1)
06:30:56   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan HS1340+1524)
06:30:56   (turning on sidereal tracking)
06:30:56 Pointing updates are enabled
06:30:56 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
06:30:56   Start slew to HS1340+1524...
06:30:57   (wait for slew to complete)
06:32:53   (slew complete)

06:32:53   Updating pointing...
06:32:53   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
06:32:53   Focus change of -320 steps required
06:32:57   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
06:32:57   (using Fast readout mode)
06:32:57   (starting exposure)
06:33:23   (exposure complete)
06:33:25   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
06:33:27   Image finished
06:33:27   Plate-solve pointing image.
06:33:27   128 image stars found
06:33:27   113 catalog stars found
06:33:28   Solved! 13 stars matched.
06:33:28   Average residual is 0.37 arcsec.
06:33:28   Pointing error is 1.568 arcmin @ angle 270.44
06:33:28   True focal length is 3482.2 mm.
06:33:28   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
06:33:28   True image center (J2000): 13h 43m 16.9s   15° 09' 16.72"
06:33:28   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
06:33:28   [sync] pointing model updated
06:33:28   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
06:33:28   Target is now centered.
06:33:28   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:33:28   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
06:33:28   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
06:33:28   Focus change of 290 steps required
06:33:32   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:33:46   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=685.9861 Y=583.9883
06:33:46 **No stars at all found in guider image
06:33:47 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:33:59   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=984 Y=421
06:34:00 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:34:00 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
06:34:00 **Autoguiding failed.
