Licensed to Arne Henden
09:13:14 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:13:14 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:13:14   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:13:14 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:13:15 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:13:16 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:13:16 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:13:16 Dome is MaxDome
09:13:16 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:13:16 Imager is ASCOM
09:13:16 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:13:16 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240223@085358 UTC
09:13:16 Imager readout modes:
09:13:16   0 is Fast
09:13:16   1 is Normal
09:13:16 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:13:16 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:13:16 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:13:16 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:13:16 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:13:16 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:13:16 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:13:16 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:13:16 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:13:16 ==== Starting target IX_Dra ====
09:13:16 ACPS Observation IX_Dra(1 of 1)
09:13:16   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P153_SFY_AUTO_ver2706, Plan IX_Dra)
09:13:16   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:13:16 Pointing updates are enabled
09:13:16 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
09:13:16   Start slew to IX_Dra...
09:13:18   (wait for slew to complete)
09:15:00   (slew complete)
09:15:00     [flip check:  Tn=660s HAc=-21190s GW=T HAz=-20530s DWz=T WF=no]
09:15:00   Updating pointing...
09:15:00   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:15:00   (using Fast readout mode)
09:15:00   (starting exposure)
09:15:15   (exposure complete)
09:15:18   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
09:15:19   Image finished
09:15:19   Plate-solve pointing image.
09:15:20   279 image stars found
09:15:20   307 catalog stars found
09:15:21   Solved! 112 stars matched.
09:15:21   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
09:15:21   Pointing error is 0.657 arcmin @ angle 181.68
09:15:21   True focal length is 3466.3 mm.
09:15:21   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
09:15:21   True image center (J2000): 18h 12m 31.3s   67° 04' 06.39"
09:15:21   Imager sky position angle is 179.3 deg.
09:15:21   [sync] pointing model updated
09:15:21   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:15:21   Target is now centered.
09:15:21   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:15:21   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:15:21   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
09:15:21   Focus change of 290 steps required
09:15:25   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:15:38   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=526.9763 Y=578.9896
09:15:39 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:15:39 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:15:52   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=708.613 Y=457.3971
09:15:53 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:15:53 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
09:15:53 **Autoguiding failed.
