Licensed to Arne Henden
03:22:29 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:22:29 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:22:29   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:22:29 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:22:30 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:22:30 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:22:30 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:22:30 Dome is MaxDome
03:22:30 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:22:30 Imager is ASCOM
03:22:30 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:22:30 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240412@032125 UTC
03:22:30 Imager readout modes:
03:22:30   0 is Fast
03:22:30   1 is Normal
03:22:30 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:22:30 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:22:30 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:22:30 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:22:30 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:22:30 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:22:30 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:22:30 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:22:30 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:22:30 ==== Starting target GZ_Cnc ====
03:22:30 ACPS Observation GZ_Cnc(1 of 1)
03:22:30   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan GZ_Cnc)
03:22:30   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:22:30 Pointing updates are enabled
03:22:30 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:22:30   Start slew to GZ_Cnc...
03:22:32   (wait for slew to complete)
03:23:20   (slew complete)
03:23:20     [flip check:  Tn=540s HAc=1361s GW=T HAz=1901s DWz=T WF=no]
03:23:20   Updating pointing...
03:23:20   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:23:20   Focus change of -290 steps required
03:23:24   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:23:24   (using Fast readout mode)
03:23:24   (starting exposure)
03:23:48   (exposure complete)
03:23:51   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:23:52   Image finished
03:23:52   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:23:53   289 image stars found
03:23:53   127 catalog stars found
03:23:54   Solved! 35 stars matched.
03:23:54   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
03:23:54   Pointing error is 2.024 arcmin @ angle 285.48
03:23:54   True focal length is 3471.8 mm.
03:23:54   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:23:54   True image center (J2000): 09h 15m 43.8s   09° 01' 20.39"
03:23:54   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
03:23:54   [sync] pointing model updated
03:23:54   Re-slew to target.
03:23:54   Start slew to GZ_Cnc...
03:23:58   (wait for slew to complete)
03:24:08   (slew complete)
03:24:08   Target is now centered.
03:24:08   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:24:08   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
03:24:08   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
03:24:08   Focus change of 290 steps required
03:24:11   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:24:24   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=225 Y=841
03:24:25 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:24:25 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:24:37   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.024 Y=608.0318
03:24:38 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:24:38 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
03:24:38 **Autoguiding failed.
