Licensed to Arne Henden
04:58:04 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:58:04 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:58:04   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:58:04 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:58:05 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:58:05 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:58:05 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:58:05 Dome is MaxDome
04:58:05 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:58:05 Imager is ASCOM
04:58:05 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:58:05 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20240311@045643 UTC
04:58:05 Imager readout modes:
04:58:05   0 is Fast
04:58:05   1 is Normal
04:58:05 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:58:05 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:58:05 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:58:05 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:58:05 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:58:06 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:58:06 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:58:06 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:58:06 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:58:06 ==== Starting target OI_158 ====
04:58:06 ACPS Observation OI_158(1 of 1)
04:58:06   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan OI_158)
04:58:06   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:58:06 Pointing updates are enabled
04:58:06 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:58:06   Start slew to OI_158...
04:58:07   (wait for slew to complete)
04:59:18   (slew complete)

04:59:18   Updating pointing...
04:59:18   Switching from R to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:59:18   Focus change of -270 steps required
04:59:21   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:59:21   (using Fast readout mode)
04:59:21   (starting exposure)
04:59:45   (exposure complete)
04:59:47   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:59:48   Image finished
04:59:49   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:59:49   868 image stars found
04:59:50   440 catalog stars found
04:59:51   Solved! 185 stars matched.
04:59:51   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
04:59:51   Pointing error is 1.823 arcmin @ angle 82.95
04:59:51   True focal length is 3468.7 mm.
04:59:51   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
04:59:51   True image center (J2000): 07h 38m 15.0s   17° 42' 32.41"
04:59:51   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
04:59:51   [sync] pointing model updated
04:59:51   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
04:59:51   Target is now centered.
04:59:51   (high cadence option, no web previews)
04:59:51   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
04:59:51   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
04:59:51   Focus change of 290 steps required
04:59:54   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:00:08   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1109.034 Y=828.1343
05:00:08   (guide star SNR=7.3 X=1109 Y=828)
05:00:08   (first exposure estimate 2.06 sec)
05:00:14   (guide star SNR=3.6 X=1109 Y=828)
05:00:14   (final exposure for guiding 1.73 sec)
05:00:19   (guide star SNR=3.1 X=1110 Y=829)
05:00:21 **Guider unexpectedly stopped while waiting for measurement
05:00:22   (take guider image at initial interval 1.73 sec)
05:00:26   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=812.9661 Y=450.0315
05:00:27 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:00:27 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:00:40   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.783 Y=608.2975
05:00:40 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:00:41 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
05:00:41 **Autoguiding failed.
