Licensed to Arne Henden
11:05:32 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:05:32 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:05:32   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:05:32 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:05:34 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:05:34 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:05:34 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:05:34 Dome is MaxDome
11:05:34 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:05:34 Imager is ASCOM
11:05:34 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:05:34 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240222@110459 UTC
11:05:34 Imager readout modes:
11:05:34   0 is Fast
11:05:34   1 is Normal
11:05:34 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:05:34 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:05:34 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:05:34 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:05:34 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:05:34 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:05:34 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:05:34 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:05:34 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:05:34 ==== Starting target U_Sco ====
11:05:34 ACPS Observation U_Sco(1 of 1)
11:05:34   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan U_Sco)
11:05:34   (turning on sidereal tracking)
11:05:34 Pointing updates are enabled
11:05:34 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
11:05:34   (wait for slew to complete)
11:05:38   (slew complete)
11:05:38   Start slew to U_Sco...

11:05:59   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
11:05:59   Focus change of -320 steps required
11:06:03   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
11:06:03   (using Fast readout mode)
11:06:03   (starting exposure)
11:06:29   (exposure complete)
11:06:32   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
11:06:33   Image finished
11:06:33   Plate-solve pointing image.
11:06:34   399 image stars found
11:06:34   254 catalog stars found
11:06:35   Solved! 99 stars matched.
11:06:35   Average residual is 0.35 arcsec.
11:06:35   Pointing error is 1.747 arcmin @ angle 78.77
11:06:35   True focal length is 3466.9 mm.
11:06:35   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
11:06:35   True image center (J2000): 16h 22m 38.0s   -17° 52' 22.37"
11:06:35   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
11:06:35   [sync] pointing model updated
11:06:35   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
11:06:35   Target is now centered.
11:06:35   (high cadence option, no web previews)
11:06:35   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
11:06:35   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
11:06:35   Focus change of 290 steps required
11:06:39   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
11:06:52   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=813 Y=450
11:06:52 **No stars at all found in guider image
11:06:53 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
11:07:05   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
11:07:06 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
11:07:06 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
11:07:06 **Autoguiding failed.
