Licensed to Arne Henden
02:47:45 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:47:45 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:47:45   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:47:45 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:47:46 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:47:46 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:47:46 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:47:46 Dome is MaxDome
02:47:46 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:47:46 Imager is ASCOM
02:47:46 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:47:46 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240311@024609 UTC
02:47:46 Imager readout modes:
02:47:46   0 is Fast
02:47:46   1 is Normal
02:47:46 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:47:46 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:47:46 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:47:46 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:47:46 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:47:46 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:47:46 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:47:46 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:47:46 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:47:46 ==== Starting target U_Leo ====
02:47:46 ACPS Observation U_Leo(1 of 1)
02:47:46   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan U_Leo)
02:47:46   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:47:47 Pointing updates are enabled
02:47:47 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:47:47   Start slew to U_Leo...
02:47:48   (wait for slew to complete)
02:48:43   (slew complete)
02:48:43     [flip check:  Tn=600s HAc=-12384s GW=T HAz=-11784s DWz=T WF=no]
02:48:43   Updating pointing...
02:48:43   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:48:43   Focus change of -290 steps required
02:48:47   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:48:47   (using Fast readout mode)
02:48:47   (starting exposure)
02:49:12   (exposure complete)
02:49:14   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:49:15   Image finished
02:49:15   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:49:15   273 image stars found
02:49:16   150 catalog stars found
02:49:17   Solved! 51 stars matched.
02:49:17   Average residual is 0.27 arcsec.
02:49:17   Pointing error is 2.186 arcmin @ angle 263.34
02:49:17   True focal length is 3465.9 mm.
02:49:17   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:49:17   True image center (J2000): 10h 23m 54.8s   14° 00' 10.77"
02:49:17   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
02:49:17   [sync] pointing model updated
02:49:17   Re-slew to target.
02:49:17   Start slew to U_Leo...
02:49:19   (wait for slew to complete)
02:49:28   (slew complete)
02:49:28   Target is now centered.
02:49:28   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:49:29   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
02:49:29   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
02:49:29   Focus change of 290 steps required
02:49:32   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
02:49:45   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
02:49:46 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:49:46 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
02:49:59   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
02:49:59 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:49:59 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
02:49:59 **Autoguiding failed.
