Licensed to Arne Henden
03:51:20 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:51:20 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:51:20   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:51:20 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:51:21 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:51:21 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:51:21 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:51:21 Dome is MaxDome
03:51:22 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:51:22 Imager is ASCOM
03:51:22 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:51:22 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240222@034746 UTC
03:51:22 Imager readout modes:
03:51:22   0 is Fast
03:51:22   1 is Normal
03:51:22 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:51:22 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:51:22 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:51:22 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:51:22 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:51:22 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:51:22 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:51:22 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:51:22 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:51:22 ==== Starting target U_Leo ====
03:51:22 ACPS Observation U_Leo(1 of 1)
03:51:22   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan U_Leo)
03:51:22   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:51:22 Pointing updates are enabled
03:51:22 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:51:22   Start slew to U_Leo...
03:51:24   (wait for slew to complete)
03:52:14   (slew complete)

03:52:14   Updating pointing...
03:52:14   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:52:14   Focus change of -290 steps required
03:52:17   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:52:18   (using Fast readout mode)
03:52:18   (starting exposure)
03:52:42   (exposure complete)
03:52:45   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:52:46   Image finished
03:52:46   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:52:47   121 image stars found
03:52:47   150 catalog stars found
03:52:48   Solved! 45 stars matched.
03:52:48   Average residual is 0.29 arcsec.
03:52:48   Pointing error is 2.267 arcmin @ angle 267.17
03:52:48   True focal length is 3464.6 mm.
03:52:48   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:52:48   True image center (J2000): 10h 23m 54.5s   14° 00' 19.27"
03:52:48   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
03:52:48   [sync] pointing model updated
03:52:48   Re-slew to target.
03:52:48   Start slew to U_Leo...
03:52:52   (wait for slew to complete)
03:53:02   (slew complete)
03:53:02   Target is now centered.
03:53:02   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:53:02   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:53:02   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
03:53:02   Focus change of 290 steps required
03:53:05   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:53:19   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=509.0287 Y=300.9984
03:53:20 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:53:20 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:53:33   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=861.4507 Y=870.472
03:53:34   (guide star SNR=4.2 X=861 Y=870)
03:53:34   (first exposure estimate 7.17 sec)
03:53:45   (guide star SNR=3.1 X=858 Y=867)
03:53:46   (final exposure for guiding 6.99 sec)
03:53:56   (guide star SNR=3.1 X=856 Y=866)
03:54:56 **Guider waited for 34.95 sec and never got a measurement
03:54:57   (take guider image at initial interval 6.99 sec)
03:55:07   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
03:55:08 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:55:08 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:55:21   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1040.281 Y=308
03:55:21 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:55:22 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
03:55:22 **Autoguiding failed.
