Licensed to Arne Henden
05:27:37 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:27:37 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:27:37   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:27:37 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:27:38 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:27:38 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:27:38 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:27:38 Dome is MaxDome
05:27:38 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:27:38 Imager is ASCOM
05:27:38 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:27:38 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240328@052703 UTC
05:27:38 Imager readout modes:
05:27:38   0 is Fast
05:27:38   1 is Normal
05:27:38 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:27:38 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:27:38 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:27:38 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:27:38 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:27:38 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:27:38 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:27:38 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:27:38 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:27:38 ==== Starting target U_Leo ====
05:27:38 ACPS Observation U_Leo(1 of 1)
05:27:38   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_SFY_AUTO_ver2706, Plan U_Leo)
05:27:38   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:27:38 Pointing updates are enabled
05:27:38 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:27:38   Start slew to U_Leo...
05:27:40   (wait for slew to complete)
05:28:35   (slew complete)
05:28:35     [flip check:  Tn=600s HAc=1256s GW=T HAz=1856s DWz=T WF=no]
05:28:35   Updating pointing...
05:28:35   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:28:35   Focus change of 20 steps required
05:28:37   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:28:37   (using Fast readout mode)
05:28:37   (starting exposure)
05:28:54   (exposure complete)
05:28:56   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:28:58   Image finished
05:28:58   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:28:58   240 image stars found
05:28:58   150 catalog stars found
05:28:59   Solved! 53 stars matched.
05:28:59   Average residual is 0.34 arcsec.
05:28:59   Pointing error is 0.750 arcmin @ angle 62.63
05:28:59   True focal length is 3468.9 mm.
05:28:59   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
05:28:59   True image center (J2000): 10h 24m 06.5s   14° 00' 46.70"
05:28:59   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
05:28:59   [sync] pointing model updated
05:28:59   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
05:28:59   Target is now centered.
05:28:59   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:28:59   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
05:28:59   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
05:28:59   Focus change of 290 steps required
05:29:03   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:29:17   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1287.039 Y=881.9983
05:29:17 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:29:17 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:29:31   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=524.8701 Y=672.0241
05:29:31 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:29:31 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
05:29:31 **Autoguiding failed.
