Licensed to Arne Henden
04:44:34 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:44:34 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:44:34   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:44:34 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:44:36 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:44:36 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:44:36 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:44:36 Dome is MaxDome
04:44:36 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:44:36 Imager is ASCOM
04:44:36 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:44:36 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240311@044252 UTC
04:44:36 Imager readout modes:
04:44:36   0 is Fast
04:44:36   1 is Normal
04:44:36 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:44:36 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:44:36 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:44:36 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:44:36 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:44:36 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:44:36 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:44:36 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:44:36 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:44:36 ==== Starting target PKS_1222+216 ====
04:44:36 ACPS Observation PKS_1222+216(1 of 1)
04:44:36   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan PKS_1222+216)
04:44:36   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:44:36 Pointing updates are enabled
04:44:36 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:44:36   Start slew to PKS_1222+216...
04:44:38   (wait for slew to complete)
04:45:44   (slew complete)
04:45:44     [flip check:  Tn=460s HAc=-12590s GW=T HAz=-12130s DWz=T WF=no]
04:45:44   Updating pointing...
04:45:44   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:45:44   Focus change of -290 steps required
04:45:48   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:45:48   (using Fast readout mode)
04:45:48   (starting exposure)
04:46:12   (exposure complete)
04:46:15   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:46:16   Image finished
04:46:16   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:46:16   294 image stars found
04:46:17   137 catalog stars found
04:46:18   Solved! 39 stars matched.
04:46:18   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
04:46:18   Pointing error is 1.914 arcmin @ angle 261.64
04:46:18   True focal length is 3468.5 mm.
04:46:18   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
04:46:18   True image center (J2000): 12h 24m 46.3s   21° 22' 29.30"
04:46:18   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
04:46:18   [sync] pointing model updated
04:46:18   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
04:46:18   Target is now centered.
04:46:18   (high cadence option, no web previews)
04:46:18   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
04:46:18   Switching from SR to SU filter for imaging
04:46:18   No focus change required
04:46:18   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:46:28   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=708.6759 Y=457.0176
04:46:29 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:46:29 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
04:46:42   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1027.598 Y=945.2193
04:46:42 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:46:42 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
04:46:42 **Autoguiding failed.
