Licensed to Arne Henden
02:02:14 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:02:14 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:02:14   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:02:14 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:02:15 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:02:15 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:02:15 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:02:15 Dome is MaxDome
02:02:15 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:02:15 Imager is ASCOM
02:02:15 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:02:15 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240301@015849 UTC
02:02:15 Imager readout modes:
02:02:15   0 is Fast
02:02:15   1 is Normal
02:02:15 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:02:15 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:02:15 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:02:15 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:02:15 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:02:16 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:02:16 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:02:16 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:02:16 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:02:16 ==== Starting target KN_Lyn ====
02:02:16 ACPS Observation KN_Lyn(1 of 1)
02:02:16   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver3479, Plan KN_Lyn)
02:02:16   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:02:16 Pointing updates are enabled
02:02:16 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:02:16   Start slew to KN_Lyn...
02:02:17   (wait for slew to complete)
02:03:23   (slew complete)
02:03:23     [flip check:  Tn=502s HAc=-9856s GW=T HAz=-9354s DWz=T WF=no]
02:03:23   Updating pointing...
02:03:23   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:03:23   (using Fast readout mode)
02:03:23   (starting exposure)
02:03:38   (exposure complete)
02:03:40   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:03:42   Image finished
02:03:42   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:03:42   351 image stars found
02:03:42   252 catalog stars found
02:03:43   Solved! 106 stars matched.
02:03:44   Average residual is 0.35 arcsec.
02:03:44   Pointing error is 1.373 arcmin @ angle 251.69
02:03:44   True focal length is 3468.0 mm.
02:03:44   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:03:44   True image center (J2000): 08h 16m 28.6s   47° 50' 16.61"
02:03:44   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
02:03:44   [sync] pointing model updated
02:03:44   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:03:44   Target is now centered.
02:03:44   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:03:44   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
02:03:44   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
02:03:44   Focus change of 50 steps required
02:03:46   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
02:03:56   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=328.8413 Y=102.7745
02:03:57   (guide star SNR=5.1 X=329 Y=103)
02:03:57   (first exposure estimate 2.96 sec)
02:04:04   (guide star SNR=3.7 X=326 Y=100)
02:04:04   (final exposure for guiding 2.43 sec)
02:04:10   (guide star SNR=2.2 X=325 Y=99)
02:04:25 **Guider waited for 12.15 sec and never got a measurement
02:04:26   (take guider image at initial interval 2.43 sec)
02:04:31   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=813.0358 Y=450.0146
02:04:32 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:04:32 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
02:04:45   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1027.594 Y=945.2651
02:04:46 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:04:46 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
02:04:46 **Autoguiding failed.
