Licensed to Arne Henden
06:42:33 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:42:33 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:42:33   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:42:33 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:42:34 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:42:34 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:42:34 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:42:34 Dome is MaxDome
06:42:34 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:42:34 Imager is ASCOM
06:42:34 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:42:34 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240222@063942 UTC
06:42:34 Imager readout modes:
06:42:34   0 is Fast
06:42:34   1 is Normal
06:42:34 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:42:34 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:42:34 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:42:34 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:42:34 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:42:34 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:42:34 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:42:34 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:42:34 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:42:34 ==== Starting target IR_Com ====
06:42:34 ACPS Observation IR_Com(1 of 1)
06:42:34   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver3479, Plan IR_Com)
06:42:34   (turning on sidereal tracking)
06:42:34 Pointing updates are enabled
06:42:34 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
06:42:34   Start slew to IR_Com...
06:42:36   (wait for slew to complete)
06:44:21   (slew complete)

06:44:21   Updating pointing...
06:44:21   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
06:44:21   Focus change of -320 steps required
06:44:24   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
06:44:24   (using Fast readout mode)
06:44:25   (starting exposure)
06:44:50   (exposure complete)
06:44:53   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
06:44:54   Image finished
06:44:54   Plate-solve pointing image.
06:44:55   157 image stars found
06:44:55   151 catalog stars found
06:44:56   Solved! 48 stars matched.
06:44:56   Average residual is 0.34 arcsec.
06:44:56   Pointing error is 2.155 arcmin @ angle 273.45
06:44:56   True focal length is 3467.5 mm.
06:44:56   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
06:44:56   True image center (J2000): 12h 39m 22.9s   21° 08' 14.15"
06:44:56   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
06:44:56   [sync] pointing model updated
06:44:56   Re-slew to target.
06:44:56   Start slew to IR_Com...
06:44:58   (wait for slew to complete)
06:45:08   (slew complete)
06:45:08   Target is now centered.
06:45:08   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:45:08   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
06:45:08   Switching from SR to R filter for imaging
06:45:08   Focus change of 270 steps required
06:45:11   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:45:26   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1018.004 Y=565
06:45:27 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:45:27 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:45:40   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=711 Y=329
06:45:40 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:45:41 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
06:45:41 **Autoguiding failed.
