Licensed to Arne Henden
04:08:45 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:08:45 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:08:45   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:08:45 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:08:46 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:08:46 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:08:46 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:08:46 Dome is MaxDome
04:08:46 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:08:46 Imager is ASCOM
04:08:46 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:08:46 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240223@040612 UTC
04:08:46 Imager readout modes:
04:08:46   0 is Fast
04:08:46   1 is Normal
04:08:46 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:08:46 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:08:46 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:08:46 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:08:46 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:08:46 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:08:46 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:08:46 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:08:46 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:08:46 ==== Starting target HQ_Mon ====
04:08:46 ACPS Observation HQ_Mon(1 of 1)
04:08:46   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan HQ_Mon)
04:08:46   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:08:47 Pointing updates are enabled
04:08:47 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:08:47   Start slew to HQ_Mon...
04:08:48   (wait for slew to complete)
04:09:13   (slew complete)
04:09:13     [flip check:  Tn=502s HAc=-8s GW=T HAz=493s DWz=T WF=no]
04:09:13   Updating pointing...
04:09:13   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:09:13   Focus change of -290 steps required
04:09:17   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:09:17   (using Fast readout mode)
04:09:17   (starting exposure)
04:09:41   (exposure complete)
04:09:43   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:09:45   Image finished
04:09:45   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:09:45   845 image stars found
04:09:46   415 catalog stars found
04:09:47   Solved! 104 stars matched.
04:09:47   Average residual is 0.34 arcsec.
04:09:47   Pointing error is 1.458 arcmin @ angle 89.68
04:09:47   True focal length is 3470.3 mm.
04:09:47   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
04:09:47   True image center (J2000): 07h 11m 39.5s   00° 52' 06.49"
04:09:47   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
04:09:47   [sync] pointing model updated
04:09:47   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
04:09:47   Target is now centered.
04:09:47   (high cadence option, no web previews)
04:09:47   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
04:09:47   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
04:09:47   Focus change of 290 steps required
04:09:51   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:10:04   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1028.143 Y=945.2516
04:10:04 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:10:05 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
04:10:18   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1327.018 Y=608.2617
04:10:18 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:10:19 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
04:10:19 **Autoguiding failed.
