Licensed to Arne Henden
11:03:41 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:03:41 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:03:41   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:03:41 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:03:42 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:03:42 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:03:42 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:03:42 Dome is MaxDome
11:03:43 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:03:43 Imager is ASCOM
11:03:43 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:03:43 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240222@105908 UTC
11:03:43 Imager readout modes:
11:03:43   0 is Fast
11:03:43   1 is Normal
11:03:43 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:03:43 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:03:43 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:03:43 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:03:43 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:03:43 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:03:43 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:03:43 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:03:43 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:03:43 ==== Starting target NGC_6254 ====
11:03:43 ACPS Observation NGC_6254(1 of 1)
11:03:43   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_WEL_AUTO_ver3443, Plan NGC_6254)
11:03:43   (turning on sidereal tracking)
11:03:43 Pointing updates are enabled
11:03:43 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
11:03:43   Start slew to NGC_6254...
11:03:44   (wait for slew to complete)
11:04:10   (slew complete)

11:04:10   Updating pointing...
11:04:10   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
11:04:10   Focus change of -290 steps required
11:04:13   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
11:04:13   (using Fast readout mode)
11:04:13   (starting exposure)
11:04:38   (exposure complete)
11:04:40   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
11:04:41   Image finished
11:04:41   Plate-solve pointing image.
11:04:42   927 image stars found
11:04:42   254 catalog stars found
11:04:43   Solved! 64 stars matched.
11:04:43   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
11:04:43   Pointing error is 2.605 arcmin @ angle 84.43
11:04:43   True focal length is 3466.2 mm.
11:04:43   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
11:04:43   True image center (J2000): 16h 57m 19.4s   -04° 05' 45.93"
11:04:43   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
11:04:43   [sync] pointing model updated
11:04:43   Re-slew to target.
11:04:43   Start slew to NGC_6254...
11:04:45   (wait for slew to complete)
11:04:55   (slew complete)
11:04:55   Target is now centered.
11:04:55   (high cadence option, no web previews)
11:04:55   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
11:04:55   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
11:04:55   Focus change of 320 steps required
11:04:59   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
11:05:12   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1359.07 Y=471.0245
11:05:12 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
11:05:13 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
11:05:25   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1358.843 Y=470.982
11:05:26 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
11:05:26 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
11:05:26 **Autoguiding failed.
