Licensed to Arne Henden
03:40:10 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:40:10 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:40:10   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:40:10 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:40:11 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:40:11 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:40:11 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:40:11 Dome is MaxDome
03:40:11 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:40:11 Imager is ASCOM
03:40:11 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:40:11 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20240412@033843 UTC
03:40:11 Imager readout modes:
03:40:11   0 is Fast
03:40:11   1 is Normal
03:40:11 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:40:11 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:40:11 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:40:11 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:40:11 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:40:11 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:40:11 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:40:11 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:40:11 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:40:11 ==== Starting target 3C_279 ====
03:40:11 ACPS Observation 3C_279(1 of 1)
03:40:11   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan 3C_279)
03:40:11   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:40:11 Pointing updates are enabled
03:40:11 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:40:11   Start slew to 3C_279...
03:40:13   (wait for slew to complete)
03:40:38   (slew complete)

03:40:38   Updating pointing...
03:40:38   Switching from SU to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:40:38   No focus change required
03:40:38   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:40:38   (using Fast readout mode)
03:40:38   (starting exposure)
03:40:59   (exposure complete)
03:41:02   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:41:03   Image finished
03:41:03   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:41:04   299 image stars found
03:41:04   144 catalog stars found
03:41:05   Solved! 47 stars matched.
03:41:05   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
03:41:05   Pointing error is 2.106 arcmin @ angle 277.67
03:41:05   True focal length is 3467.1 mm.
03:41:05   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:41:05   True image center (J2000): 12h 56m 02.7s   -05° 47' 05.13"
03:41:05   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
03:41:05   [sync] pointing model updated
03:41:05   Re-slew to target.
03:41:05   Start slew to 3C_279...
03:41:08   (wait for slew to complete)
03:41:18   (slew complete)
03:41:18   Target is now centered.
03:41:18   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:41:18   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:41:18   Switching from SR to SU filter for imaging
03:41:18   No focus change required
03:41:18   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:41:28   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=438.9709 Y=437.7918
03:41:29 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:41:29 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:41:42   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.956 Y=607.9711
03:41:42 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:41:42 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
03:41:42 **Autoguiding failed.
