This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
11:54:12 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:54:12 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:54:12   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:54:12 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:54:13 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:54:13 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:54:13 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:54:13 Dome is MaxDome
11:54:14 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:54:14 Imager is ASCOM
11:54:14 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:54:14 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240223@115236 UTC
11:54:14 Imager readout modes:
11:54:14   0 is Fast
11:54:14   1 is Normal
11:54:14 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:54:14 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:54:14 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:54:14 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:54:14 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:54:14 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:54:14 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:54:14 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:54:14 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:54:14 ==== Starting target U_Sco ====
11:54:14 ACPS Observation U_Sco(1 of 1)
11:54:14   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan U_Sco)
11:54:14   (turning on sidereal tracking)
11:54:14 Pointing updates are enabled
11:54:14 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
11:54:14   Start slew to U_Sco...
11:54:15   (wait for slew to complete)
11:55:16   (slew complete)
11:55:16     [flip check:  Tn=660s HAc=-5034s GW=T HAz=-4374s DWz=T WF=no]
11:55:16   Updating pointing...
11:55:16   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
11:55:16   Focus change of 20 steps required
11:55:19   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
11:55:19   (using Fast readout mode)
11:55:19   (starting exposure)
11:55:36   (exposure complete)
11:55:38   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
11:55:39   Image finished
11:55:40   Plate-solve pointing image.
11:55:40   280 image stars found
11:55:40   254 catalog stars found
11:55:41   Solved! 68 stars matched.
11:55:42   Average residual is 0.36 arcsec.
11:55:42   Pointing error is 1.447 arcmin @ angle 79.85
11:55:42   True focal length is 3469.4 mm.
11:55:42   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
11:55:42   True image center (J2000): 16h 22m 36.8s   -17° 52' 27.50"
11:55:42   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
11:55:42   [sync] pointing model updated
11:55:42   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
11:55:42   Target is now centered.
11:55:42   (high cadence option, no web previews)
11:55:42   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
11:55:42   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
11:55:42   Focus change of 290 steps required
11:55:45   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
11:55:59   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1161 Y=865
11:56:00 **No stars at all found in guider image
11:56:00 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
11:56:13   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=498.8948 Y=927.0145
11:56:13 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
11:56:13 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
11:56:13 **Autoguiding failed.
