Licensed to Arne Henden
11:46:17 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:46:17 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:46:17   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:46:17 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:46:18 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:46:18 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:46:18 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:46:18 Dome is MaxDome
11:46:18 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:46:18 Imager is ASCOM
11:46:18 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:46:18 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240328@114211 UTC
11:46:18 Imager readout modes:
11:46:18   0 is Fast
11:46:18   1 is Normal
11:46:18 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:46:18 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:46:18 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:46:18 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:46:18 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:46:18 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:46:18 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:46:18 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:46:18 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:46:18 ==== Starting target MN84 ====
11:46:18 ACPS Observation MN84(1 of 1)
11:46:18   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan MN84)
11:46:18   (turning on sidereal tracking)
11:46:18 Pointing updates are enabled
11:46:18 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
11:46:18   Start slew to MN84...
11:46:20   (wait for slew to complete)
11:46:39   (slew complete)
11:46:40     [flip check:  Tn=600s HAc=-5842s GW=T HAz=-5242s DWz=T WF=no]
11:46:40   Updating pointing...
11:46:40   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
11:46:40   Focus change of -50 steps required
11:46:42   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
11:46:42   (using Fast readout mode)
11:46:42   (starting exposure)
11:47:04   (exposure complete)
11:47:06   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
11:47:08   Image finished
11:47:08   Plate-solve pointing image.
11:47:08   4668 image stars found
11:47:08   221 catalog stars found
11:47:09   Solved! 133 stars matched.
11:47:09   Average residual is 0.23 arcsec.
11:47:09   Pointing error is 0.846 arcmin @ angle 87.46
11:47:09   True focal length is 3466.9 mm.
11:47:09   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
11:47:09   True image center (J2000): 18h 41m 33.0s   -05° 15' 38.45"
11:47:09   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
11:47:09   [sync] pointing model updated
11:47:09   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
11:47:09   Target is now centered.
11:47:09   (high cadence option, no web previews)
11:47:10   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
11:47:10   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
11:47:10   Focus change of 290 steps required
11:47:13   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
11:47:26   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=627.0637 Y=962.5034
11:47:27   (guide star SNR=10.1 X=627 Y=962)
11:47:27   (first exposure estimate 1.49 sec)
11:47:32   (guide star SNR=3.5 X=626 Y=962)
11:47:32   (final exposure for guiding 1.28 sec)
11:47:37   (guide star SNR=3.1 X=625 Y=962)
11:47:49 **Guider waited for 10 sec and never got a measurement
11:47:50   (take guider image at initial interval 1.28 sec)
11:47:55   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
11:47:55 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
11:47:55 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
11:48:08   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=602.8386 Y=59.26483
11:48:09 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
11:48:09 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
11:48:09 **Autoguiding failed.
