Licensed to Arne Henden
04:28:35 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:28:35 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:28:35   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:28:35 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:28:36 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:28:36 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:28:36 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:28:36 Dome is MaxDome
04:28:37 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:28:37 Imager is ASCOM
04:28:37 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:28:37 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240224@042729 UTC
04:28:37 Imager readout modes:
04:28:37   0 is Fast
04:28:37   1 is Normal
04:28:37 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:28:37 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:28:37 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:28:37 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:28:37 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:28:37 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:28:37 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:28:37 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:28:37 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:28:37 ==== Starting target NSVS_0421121 ====
04:28:37 ACPS Observation NSVS_0421121(1 of 1)
04:28:37   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan NSVS_0421121)
04:28:37   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:28:37 Pointing updates are enabled
04:28:37 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:28:37   Start slew to NSVS_0421121...
04:28:38   (wait for slew to complete)
04:29:24   (slew complete)

04:29:24   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:29:24   Focus change of -290 steps required
04:29:27   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:29:27   (using Fast readout mode)
04:29:27   (starting exposure)
04:29:52   (exposure complete)
04:29:55   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:29:56   Image finished
04:29:56   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:29:56   292 image stars found
04:29:57   202 catalog stars found
04:29:58   Solved! 69 stars matched.
04:29:58   Average residual is 0.24 arcsec.
04:29:58   Pointing error is 1.620 arcmin @ angle 77.49
04:29:58   True focal length is 3467.6 mm.
04:29:58   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
04:29:58   True image center (J2000): 04h 21m 18.7s   16° 26' 38.45"
04:29:58   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
04:29:58   [sync] pointing model updated
04:29:58   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
04:29:58   Target is now centered.
04:29:58   (high cadence option, no web previews)
04:29:58   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
04:29:58   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
04:29:58   Focus change of 290 steps required
04:30:02   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:30:16   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=691.1365 Y=989.1707
04:30:16   (guide star SNR=5.0 X=691 Y=989)
04:30:16   (first exposure estimate 3 sec)
04:30:23   (guide star SNR=3.1 X=691 Y=990)
04:30:23   (final exposure for guiding 2.92 sec)
04:30:29   (guide star SNR=3.0 X=692 Y=990)
04:30:46 **Guider waited for 14.6 sec and never got a measurement
04:30:47   (take guider image at initial interval 2.92 sec)
04:30:53   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
04:30:53 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:30:53 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
04:31:06   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1027.784 Y=945.06
04:31:07 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:31:07 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
04:31:07 **Autoguiding failed.
