Licensed to Arne Henden
03:28:54 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:28:54 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:28:54   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:28:54 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:28:55 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:28:55 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:28:55 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:28:55 Dome is MaxDome
03:28:55 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:28:55 Imager is ASCOM
03:28:55 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:28:55 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240328@032538 UTC
03:28:55 Imager readout modes:
03:28:55   0 is Fast
03:28:55   1 is Normal
03:28:55 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:28:55 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:28:55 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:28:55 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:28:55 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:28:55 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:28:55 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:28:55 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:28:55 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:28:55 ==== Starting target GZ_Cnc ====
03:28:55 ACPS Observation GZ_Cnc(1 of 1)
03:28:56   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan GZ_Cnc)
03:28:56   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:28:56 Pointing updates are enabled
03:28:56 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:28:56   Start slew to GZ_Cnc...
03:28:57   (wait for slew to complete)
03:30:02   (slew complete)
03:30:02     [flip check:  Tn=540s HAc=-1784s GW=T HAz=-1244s DWz=T WF=no]
03:30:02   Updating pointing...
03:30:02   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:30:02   Focus change of -320 steps required
03:30:06   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:30:06   (using Fast readout mode)
03:30:06   (starting exposure)
03:30:32   (exposure complete)
03:30:34   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:30:35   Image finished
03:30:35   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:30:36   303 image stars found
03:30:36   127 catalog stars found
03:30:37   Solved! 50 stars matched.
03:30:37   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
03:30:37   Pointing error is 1.443 arcmin @ angle 72.79
03:30:37   True focal length is 3473.6 mm.
03:30:37   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:30:37   True image center (J2000): 09h 15m 57.3s   09° 01' 13.61"
03:30:37   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
03:30:37   [sync] pointing model updated
03:30:37   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:30:37   Target is now centered.
03:30:37   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:30:37   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
03:30:37   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
03:30:37   Focus change of 290 steps required
03:30:41   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:30:54   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
03:30:55 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:30:55 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:31:07   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=859.2615 Y=830.6565
03:31:08 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:31:08 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
03:31:08 **Autoguiding failed.
