Licensed to Arne Henden
05:07:16 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:07:16 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:07:16   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:07:16 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:07:17 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:07:17 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:07:17 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:07:17 Dome is MaxDome
05:07:17 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:07:17 Imager is ASCOM
05:07:17 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:07:17 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20240328@050531 UTC
05:07:17 Imager readout modes:
05:07:17   0 is Fast
05:07:17   1 is Normal
05:07:17 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:07:17 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:07:17 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:07:17 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:07:17 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:07:17 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:07:17 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:07:17 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:07:17 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:07:17 ==== Starting target HS1340+1524 ====
05:07:17 ACPS Observation HS1340+1524(1 of 1)
05:07:18   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan HS1340+1524)
05:07:18   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:07:18 Pointing updates are enabled
05:07:18 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:07:18   Start slew to HS1340+1524...
05:07:19   (wait for slew to complete)
05:08:56   (slew complete)

05:08:56   Updating pointing...
05:08:56   Switching from SU to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:08:56   No focus change required
05:08:56   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:08:56   (using Fast readout mode)
05:08:56   (starting exposure)
05:09:17   (exposure complete)
05:09:19   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:09:20   Image finished
05:09:20   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:09:21   188 image stars found
05:09:21   113 catalog stars found
05:09:22   Solved! 36 stars matched.
05:09:22   Average residual is 0.27 arcsec.
05:09:22   Pointing error is 2.298 arcmin @ angle 87.86
05:09:22   True focal length is 3469.8 mm.
05:09:22   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
05:09:22   True image center (J2000): 13h 43m 32.9s   15° 09' 21.14"
05:09:22   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
05:09:22   [sync] pointing model updated
05:09:22   Re-slew to target.
05:09:22   Start slew to HS1340+1524...
05:09:24   (wait for slew to complete)
05:09:33   (slew complete)
05:09:33   Target is now centered.
05:09:34   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:09:34   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
05:09:34   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
05:09:34   Focus change of 290 steps required
05:09:37   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:09:51   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1040.436 Y=307.9916
05:09:52 **No stars at all found in guider image
05:09:52 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:10:04   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=32 Y=417
05:10:05 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:10:05 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
05:10:05 **Autoguiding failed.
