Licensed to Arne Henden
03:47:14 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:47:14 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:47:14   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:47:14 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:47:15 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:47:15 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:47:15 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:47:15 Dome is MaxDome
03:47:15 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:47:15 Imager is ASCOM
03:47:15 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:47:15 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240412@034640 UTC
03:47:15 Imager readout modes:
03:47:15   0 is Fast
03:47:15   1 is Normal
03:47:15 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:47:15 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:47:15 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:47:15 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:47:15 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:47:15 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:47:15 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:47:15 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:47:15 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:47:15 ==== Starting target HS1340+1524 ====
03:47:15 ACPS Observation HS1340+1524(1 of 1)
03:47:15   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan HS1340+1524)
03:47:15   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:47:15 Pointing updates are enabled
03:47:15 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:47:15   Start slew to HS1340+1524...
03:47:17   (wait for slew to complete)
03:48:27   (slew complete)
03:48:27     [flip check:  Tn=480s HAc=-13173s GW=T HAz=-12693s DWz=T WF=no]
03:48:27   Updating pointing...
03:48:27   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:48:27   Focus change of -320 steps required
03:48:30   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:48:30   (using Fast readout mode)
03:48:30   (starting exposure)
03:48:55   (exposure complete)
03:48:57   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:48:58   Image finished
03:48:58   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:48:59   240 image stars found
03:48:59   113 catalog stars found
03:49:01   Solved! 12 stars matched.
03:49:01   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
03:49:01   Pointing error is 0.897 arcmin @ angle 266.94
03:49:01   True focal length is 3485.3 mm.
03:49:01   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:49:01   True image center (J2000): 13h 43m 19.7s   15° 09' 13.13"
03:49:01   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
03:49:01   [sync] pointing model updated
03:49:01   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:49:01   Target is now centered.
03:49:01   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:49:01   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:49:01   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
03:49:01   Focus change of 290 steps required
03:49:05   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:49:19   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.45 Y=608
03:49:19 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:49:19 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:49:32   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.756 Y=608.0195
03:49:33   (guide star SNR=10.8 X=1326 Y=608)
03:49:33   (first exposure estimate 2.78 sec)
03:49:39 **No stars at all found in guider image
03:49:39 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
03:49:39 **Autoguiding failed.
