Licensed to Arne Henden
09:09:08 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:09:08 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:09:08   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:09:08 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:09:10 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:09:10 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:09:10 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:09:10 Dome is MaxDome
09:09:10 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:09:10 Imager is ASCOM
09:09:10 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:09:10 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240224@084618 UTC
09:09:10 Imager readout modes:
09:09:10   0 is Fast
09:09:10   1 is Normal
09:09:10 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:09:10 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:09:10 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:09:10 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:09:10 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:09:10 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:09:10 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:09:10 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:09:10 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:09:10 ==== Starting target IX_Dra ====
09:09:10 ACPS Observation IX_Dra(1 of 1)
09:09:10   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P153_SFY_AUTO_ver2706, Plan IX_Dra)
09:09:10   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:09:10 Pointing updates are enabled
09:09:10 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
09:09:10   Start slew to IX_Dra...
09:09:11   (wait for slew to complete)
09:10:53   (slew complete)
09:10:53     [flip check:  Tn=660s HAc=-21201s GW=T HAz=-20541s DWz=T WF=no]
09:10:53   Updating pointing...
09:10:53   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:10:53   (using Fast readout mode)
09:10:53   (starting exposure)
09:11:08   (exposure complete)
09:11:11   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
09:11:12   Image finished
09:11:12   Plate-solve pointing image.
09:11:13   329 image stars found
09:11:13   307 catalog stars found
09:11:14   Solved! 112 stars matched.
09:11:14   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
09:11:14   Pointing error is 0.576 arcmin @ angle 155.50
09:11:14   True focal length is 3465.0 mm.
09:11:14   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
09:11:14   True image center (J2000): 18h 12m 33.9s   67° 04' 14.35"
09:11:14   Imager sky position angle is 179.3 deg.
09:11:14   [sync] pointing model updated
09:11:14   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:11:14   Target is now centered.
09:11:14   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:11:14   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:11:14   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
09:11:14   Focus change of 290 steps required
09:11:18   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:11:31   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=99.92413 Y=958.1767
09:11:32   (guide star SNR=4.7 X=100 Y=958)
09:11:32   (first exposure estimate 3.16 sec)
09:11:39   (guide star SNR=3.2 X=99 Y=958)
09:11:39   (final exposure for guiding 2.96 sec)
09:11:45   (guide star SNR=2.7 X=99 Y=957)
09:12:01 **Guider waited for 14.8 sec and never got a measurement
09:12:03   (take guider image at initial interval 2.96 sec)
09:12:09   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
09:12:10 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:12:10 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:12:23   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1027.829 Y=945.1202
09:12:24 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:12:24 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
09:12:24 **Autoguiding failed.
