Licensed to Arne Henden
03:58:48 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:58:48 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:58:48   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:58:48 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:58:49 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:58:49 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:58:49 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:58:49 Dome is MaxDome
03:58:49 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:58:49 Imager is ASCOM
03:58:49 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:58:49 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240412@035813 UTC
03:58:49 Imager readout modes:
03:58:49   0 is Fast
03:58:49   1 is Normal
03:58:49 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:58:49 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:58:49 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:58:49 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:58:49 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:58:49 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:58:49 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:58:49 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:58:49 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:58:49 ==== Starting target HQ_Mon ====
03:58:49 ACPS Observation HQ_Mon(1 of 1)
03:58:49   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan HQ_Mon)
03:58:49   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:58:49 Pointing updates are enabled
03:58:49 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:58:49   Start slew to HQ_Mon...
03:58:51   (wait for slew to complete)
03:59:10   (slew complete)
03:59:10     [flip check:  Tn=502s HAc=10979s GW=T HAz=11481s DWz=T WF=no]
03:59:10   Updating pointing...
03:59:10   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:59:10   Focus change of -290 steps required
03:59:14   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:59:14   (using Fast readout mode)
03:59:14   (starting exposure)
03:59:38   (exposure complete)
03:59:41   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:59:42   Image finished
03:59:42   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:59:43   1959 image stars found
03:59:43   415 catalog stars found
03:59:45   Solved! 157 stars matched.
03:59:45   Average residual is 0.35 arcsec.
03:59:45   Pointing error is 2.464 arcmin @ angle 73.94
03:59:45   True focal length is 3469.0 mm.
03:59:45   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:59:45   True image center (J2000): 07h 11m 43.2s   00° 52' 46.91"
03:59:45   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
03:59:45   [sync] pointing model updated
03:59:45   Re-slew to target.
03:59:45   Start slew to HQ_Mon...
03:59:49   (wait for slew to complete)
03:59:58   (slew complete)
03:59:58   Target is now centered.
03:59:58   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:59:58   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:59:58   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
03:59:58   Focus change of 290 steps required
04:00:02   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:00:17   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.903 Y=608.0552
04:00:17 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:00:17 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
04:00:30   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.382 Y=608.4393
04:00:31 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:00:31 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
04:00:31 **Autoguiding failed.
