Licensed to Arne Henden
10:17:12 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:17:12 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:17:12   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:17:12 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:17:13 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:17:13 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:17:13 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:17:13 Dome is MaxDome
10:17:13 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:17:13 Imager is ASCOM
10:17:13 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:17:13 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240222@100423 UTC
10:17:13 Imager readout modes:
10:17:13   0 is Fast
10:17:13   1 is Normal
10:17:13 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:17:13 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:17:13 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:17:13 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:17:13 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:17:13 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:17:13 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:17:13 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:17:13 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:17:13 ==== Starting target MV_Lyr ====
10:17:13 ACPS Observation MV_Lyr(1 of 1)
10:17:13   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P233_DKS_AUTO_ver2623, Plan MV_Lyr)
10:17:13   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:17:13 Pointing updates are enabled
10:17:13 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:17:13   Start slew to MV_Lyr...
10:17:15   (wait for slew to complete)
10:18:55   (slew complete)
10:18:55     [flip check:  Tn=660s HAc=-20912s GW=T HAz=-20252s DWz=T WF=no]
10:18:55   Updating pointing...
10:18:55   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:18:55   (using Fast readout mode)
10:18:55   (starting exposure)
10:19:11   (exposure complete)
10:19:14   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:19:15   Image finished
10:19:15   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:19:15   523 image stars found
10:19:15   331 catalog stars found
10:19:17   Solved! 125 stars matched.
10:19:17   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
10:19:17   Pointing error is 0.452 arcmin @ angle 224.99
10:19:17   True focal length is 3464.5 mm.
10:19:17   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
10:19:17   True image center (J2000): 19h 07m 14.5s   44° 00' 49.40"
10:19:17   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
10:19:17   [sync] pointing model updated
10:19:17   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:19:17   Target is now centered.
10:19:17   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:19:17   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
10:19:17   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
10:19:17   Focus change of 50 steps required
10:19:19   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:19:29   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=708 Y=457
10:19:29 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:19:30 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:19:42   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1306.754 Y=62.05957
10:19:43   (guide star SNR=6.3 X=1307 Y=62)
10:19:43   (first exposure estimate 4.78 sec)
10:19:51   (guide star SNR=3.3 X=1304 Y=61)
10:19:52   (final exposure for guiding 4.36 sec)
10:20:00   (guide star SNR=2.9 X=1300 Y=58)
10:20:24 **Guider waited for 21.8 sec and never got a measurement
10:20:25   (take guider image at initial interval 4.36 sec)
10:20:33   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1193 Y=455
10:20:33 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:20:34 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:20:46   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1018 Y=565
10:20:47 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:20:47 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
10:20:47 **Autoguiding failed.
