Licensed to Arne Henden
05:46:41 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:46:41 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:46:41   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:46:41 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:46:42 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:46:42 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:46:42 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:46:42 Dome is MaxDome
05:46:43 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:46:43 Imager is ASCOM
05:46:43 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:46:43 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20240328@054302 UTC
05:46:43 Imager readout modes:
05:46:43   0 is Fast
05:46:43   1 is Normal
05:46:43 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:46:43 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:46:43 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:46:43 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:46:43 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:46:43 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:46:43 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:46:43 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:46:43 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:46:43 ==== Starting target GZ_Cnc ====
05:46:43 ACPS Observation GZ_Cnc(1 of 1)
05:46:43   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_MZK_AUTO_ver2706, Plan GZ_Cnc)
05:46:43   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:46:43 Pointing updates are enabled
05:46:43 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:46:43   Start slew to GZ_Cnc...
05:46:45   (wait for slew to complete)
05:47:34   (slew complete)

05:47:34   Updating pointing...
05:47:34   Switching from R to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:47:34   Focus change of -270 steps required
05:47:38   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:47:38   (using Fast readout mode)
05:47:38   (starting exposure)
05:48:02   (exposure complete)
05:48:04   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:48:05   Image finished
05:48:05   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:48:06   272 image stars found
05:48:06   127 catalog stars found
05:48:07   Solved! 54 stars matched.
05:48:07   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
05:48:07   Pointing error is 5.130 arcmin @ angle 85.19
05:48:07   True focal length is 3469.7 mm.
05:48:07   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
05:48:07   True image center (J2000): 09h 16m 12.4s   09° 01' 13.77"
05:48:07   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
05:48:07   [sync] pointing model updated
05:48:07   Re-slew to target.
05:48:07   Start slew to GZ_Cnc...
05:48:09   (wait for slew to complete)
05:48:19   (slew complete)
05:48:19   Target is now centered.
05:48:19   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:48:19   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
05:48:19   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
05:48:19   Focus change of 290 steps required
05:48:23   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:48:36   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=862 Y=782
05:48:37 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:48:37 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:48:49   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=51.00204 Y=64.99365
05:48:50 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:48:50 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
05:48:50 **Autoguiding failed.
