Licensed to Arne Henden
04:13:23 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:13:23 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:13:23   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:13:23 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:13:24 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:13:24 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:13:24 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:13:24 Dome is MaxDome
04:13:24 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:13:24 Imager is ASCOM
04:13:24 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:13:24 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240328@041052 UTC
04:13:24 Imager readout modes:
04:13:24   0 is Fast
04:13:24   1 is Normal
04:13:24 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:13:24 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:13:24 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:13:24 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:13:24 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:13:24 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:13:24 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:13:24 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:13:24 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:13:24 ==== Starting target HS1340+1524 ====
04:13:24 ACPS Observation HS1340+1524(1 of 1)
04:13:24   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan HS1340+1524)
04:13:24   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:13:25 Pointing updates are enabled
04:13:25 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:13:25   Start slew to HS1340+1524...
04:13:26   (wait for slew to complete)
04:15:23   (slew complete)

04:15:23   Updating pointing...
04:15:23   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:15:23   Focus change of -320 steps required
04:15:27   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:15:27   (using Fast readout mode)
04:15:27   (starting exposure)
04:15:53   (exposure complete)
04:15:55   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:15:56   Image finished
04:15:56   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:15:57   210 image stars found
04:15:57   113 catalog stars found
04:15:58   Solved! 11 stars matched.
04:15:58   Average residual is 0.4 arcsec.
04:15:58   Pointing error is 2.747 arcmin @ angle 88.55
04:15:58   True focal length is 3484.0 mm.
04:15:58   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
04:15:58   True image center (J2000): 13h 43m 34.8s   15° 09' 20.15"
04:15:58   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
04:15:58   [sync] pointing model updated
04:15:58   Re-slew to target.
04:15:58   Start slew to HS1340+1524...
04:15:59   (wait for slew to complete)
04:16:09   (slew complete)
04:16:09   Target is now centered.
04:16:09   (high cadence option, no web previews)
04:16:09   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
04:16:09   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
04:16:09   Focus change of 290 steps required
04:16:13   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:16:27   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.394 Y=607.999
04:16:27 **No stars at all found in guider image
04:16:27 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
04:16:40   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=686 Y=583.988
04:16:40 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:16:40 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
04:16:40 **Autoguiding failed.
