Licensed to Arne Henden
05:27:12 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:27:12 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:27:12   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:27:12 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:27:13 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:27:13 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:27:13 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:27:13 Dome is MaxDome
05:27:13 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:27:13 Imager is ASCOM
05:27:13 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:27:13 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240222@052556 UTC
05:27:13 Imager readout modes:
05:27:13   0 is Fast
05:27:13   1 is Normal
05:27:13 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:27:13 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:27:13 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:27:13 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:27:13 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:27:13 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:27:13 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:27:13 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:27:13 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:27:13 ==== Starting target IR_Com ====
05:27:13 ACPS Observation IR_Com(1 of 1)
05:27:13   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan IR_Com)
05:27:13   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:27:13 Pointing updates are enabled
05:27:13 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:27:13   Start slew to IR_Com...
05:27:15   (wait for slew to complete)
05:28:35   (slew complete)
05:28:35     [flip check:  Tn=600s HAc=-15146s GW=T HAz=-14546s DWz=T WF=no]
05:28:35   Updating pointing...
05:28:35   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:28:35   (using Fast readout mode)
05:28:35   (starting exposure)
05:28:50   (exposure complete)
05:28:53   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:28:54   Image finished
05:28:54   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:28:55   162 image stars found
05:28:55   151 catalog stars found
05:28:56   Solved! 22 stars matched.
05:28:56   Average residual is 0.43 arcsec.
05:28:56   Pointing error is 1.956 arcmin @ angle 265.81
05:28:56   True focal length is 3482.9 mm.
05:28:56   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
05:28:56   True image center (J2000): 12h 39m 23.8s   21° 07' 57.82"
05:28:56   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
05:28:56   [sync] pointing model updated
05:28:56   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
05:28:56   Target is now centered.
05:28:56   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:28:56   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
05:28:56   Switching from SR to R filter for imaging
05:28:56   Focus change of 270 steps required
05:28:59   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:29:14   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=86.12204 Y=866.5154
05:29:15   (guide star SNR=50.1 X=86 Y=866)
05:29:15   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
05:29:20   (guide star SNR=12.8 X=85 Y=866)
05:29:20   (final exposure for guiding 1 sec)
05:29:25   (guide star SNR=12.2 X=85 Y=864)
05:29:47 **Guider waited for 10 sec and never got a measurement
05:29:48   (take guider image at initial interval 1 sec)
05:29:52   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
05:29:53 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:29:53 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:30:06   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.986 Y=607.9879
05:30:06 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:30:07 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
05:30:07 **Autoguiding failed.
