Licensed to Arne Henden
09:01:18 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:01:18 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:01:18   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:01:18 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:01:19 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:01:19 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:01:19 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:01:19 Dome is MaxDome
09:01:19 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:01:19 Imager is ASCOM
09:01:19 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:01:19 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240328@085906 UTC
09:01:19 Imager readout modes:
09:01:19   0 is Fast
09:01:19   1 is Normal
09:01:19 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:01:19 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:01:19 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:01:19 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:01:19 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:01:19 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:01:19 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:01:19 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:01:19 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:01:19 ==== Starting target NGC_6402 ====
09:01:19 ACPS Observation NGC_6402(1 of 1)
09:01:19   (belongs to Project AAVSO_Pgc_Welch_AUTO_ver2411, Plan NGC_6402)
09:01:19   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:01:19 Pointing updates are enabled
09:01:19 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
09:01:20   Start slew to NGC_6402...
09:01:21   (wait for slew to complete)
09:01:31   (slew complete)
09:01:31   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)
09:01:31     [flip check:  Tn=420s HAc=-11943s GW=T HAz=-11523s DWz=T WF=no]
09:01:31   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:01:31     [flip check:  Tn=360s HAc=-11943s GW=T HAz=-11583s DWz=T WF=no]
09:01:31   Imaging to NGC_6402_SG_20240328_090131_T3
09:01:31   (taking 60 sec. exposure, SG filter, binning = 2)
09:01:31   (using Normal readout mode)
09:01:31   (starting exposure)
09:02:36   (exposure complete)
09:02:38   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
09:02:40   Image finished
09:02:40   Plate-solve NGC_6402_SG_20240328_090131_T3 final image.
09:02:42   2339 image stars found
09:02:43   95 catalog stars found
09:02:46   Solved! 41 stars matched.
09:02:46   Average residual is 0.21 arcsec.
09:02:46   Pointing error is 1.693 arcmin @ angle 87.98
09:02:46   (pointing corrector updated with this observation)
09:02:46   True focal length is 3467.5 mm.
09:02:46   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.45 V = 0.45
09:02:46   True image center (J2000): 17h 37m 42.9s   -03° 14' 41.71"
09:02:46   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
09:02:46   Image FWHM is 2.4 arcsec (5.42 pixels)
09:02:46   (avg FWHM = 2.46 arcsec)
09:02:46   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:02:46   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:02:46   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:02:46   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:02:54   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
09:02:54 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:02:54 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:03:07   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=452 Y=347
09:03:07 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:03:07 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
09:03:07 **Autoguiding failed.
