Licensed to Arne Henden
10:58:06 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:58:06 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:58:06   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:58:06 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:58:07 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:58:07 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:58:07 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:58:07 Dome is MaxDome
10:58:07 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:58:07 Imager is ASCOM
10:58:07 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:58:07 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240328@105503 UTC
10:58:08 Imager readout modes:
10:58:08   0 is Fast
10:58:08   1 is Normal
10:58:08 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:58:08 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:58:08 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:58:08 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:58:08 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:58:08 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:58:08 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:58:08 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:58:08 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:58:08 ==== Starting target NGC_6401 ====
10:58:08 ACPS Observation NGC_6401(1 of 1)
10:58:08   (belongs to Project AAVSO_Pgc_Welch_AUTO_ver2411, Plan NGC_6401)
10:58:08   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:58:08 Pointing updates are enabled
10:58:08 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:58:08   Start slew to NGC_6401...
10:58:09   (wait for slew to complete)
10:58:24   (slew complete)
10:58:24   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)
10:58:24     [flip check:  Tn=420s HAc=-4984s GW=T HAz=-4564s DWz=T WF=no]
10:58:24   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:58:24     [flip check:  Tn=360s HAc=-4984s GW=T HAz=-4624s DWz=T WF=no]
10:58:24   Imaging to NGC_6401_SG_20240328_105824_T3
10:58:24   (taking 60 sec. exposure, SG filter, binning = 2)
10:58:24   (using Normal readout mode)
10:58:24   (starting exposure)
10:59:30   (exposure complete)
10:59:33   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:59:34   Image finished
10:59:34   Plate-solve NGC_6401_SG_20240328_105824_T3 final image.
10:59:37   3204 image stars found
10:59:37   42 catalog stars found
10:59:37 ** Failed to solve plate, possibly due to input plate scale being too far off.
10:59:37   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:59:37   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
10:59:37   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:59:45   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.186 Y=608.1573
10:59:46 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:59:46 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:59:59   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=31.48676 Y=416.6593
10:59:59 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:59:59 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
10:59:59 **Autoguiding failed.
