Licensed to Arne Henden
04:29:57 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:29:57 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:29:57   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:29:57 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:29:58 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:29:58 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:29:58 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:29:58 Dome is MaxDome
04:29:58 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:29:58 Imager is ASCOM
04:29:58 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:29:58 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240328@042548 UTC
04:29:58 Imager readout modes:
04:29:58   0 is Fast
04:29:58   1 is Normal
04:29:58 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:29:58 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:29:58 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:29:58 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:29:58 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:29:58 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:29:58 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:29:58 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:29:58 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:29:58 ==== Starting target L1022_IRS ====
04:29:58 ACPS Observation L1022_IRS(1 of 1)
04:29:58   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan L1022_IRS)
04:29:58   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:29:59 Pointing updates are enabled
04:29:59 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:29:59   Start slew to L1022_IRS...
04:30:00   (wait for slew to complete)
04:30:30   (slew complete)
04:30:30     [flip check:  Tn=540s HAc=10173s GW=T HAz=10713s DWz=T WF=no]
04:30:30   Updating pointing...
04:30:30   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:30:30   Focus change of -290 steps required
04:30:34   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:30:34   (using Fast readout mode)
04:30:34   (starting exposure)
04:30:59   (exposure complete)
04:31:01   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:31:02   Image finished
04:31:02   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:31:03   886 image stars found
04:31:03   391 catalog stars found
04:31:04   Solved! 166 stars matched.
04:31:04   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
04:31:04   Pointing error is 0.683 arcmin @ angle 54.50
04:31:04   True focal length is 3467.4 mm.
04:31:04   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
04:31:04   True image center (J2000): 06h 57m 23.9s   -08° 18' 01.51"
04:31:04   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
04:31:04   [sync] pointing model updated
04:31:04   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
04:31:04   Target is now centered.
04:31:04   (high cadence option, no web previews)
04:31:04   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
04:31:04   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
04:31:04   Focus change of 290 steps required
04:31:08   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:31:22   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=206.6801 Y=489.4962
04:31:22   (guide star SNR=18.7 X=207 Y=489)
04:31:22   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
04:31:27   (guide star SNR=4.3 X=202 Y=487)
04:31:27   (final exposure for guiding 1 sec)
04:31:32   (guide star SNR=4.0 X=199 Y=484)
04:31:33 **Guider unexpectedly stopped while waiting for measurement
04:31:34   (take guider image at initial interval 1 sec)
04:31:38   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=199 Y=484
04:31:38   (guide star SNR=4.2 X=183 Y=473)
04:31:38   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
04:31:43 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:31:43 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
04:31:43 **Autoguiding failed.
