Licensed to Arne Henden
04:33:20 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:33:20 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:33:20   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:33:20 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:33:21 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:33:21 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:33:21 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:33:21 Dome is MaxDome
04:33:22 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:33:22 Imager is ASCOM
04:33:22 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:33:22 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240412@043249 UTC
04:33:22 Imager readout modes:
04:33:22   0 is Fast
04:33:22   1 is Normal
04:33:22 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:33:22 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:33:22 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:33:22 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:33:22 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:33:22 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:33:22 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:33:22 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:33:22 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:33:22 ==== Starting target IR_Com ====
04:33:22 ACPS Observation IR_Com(1 of 1)
04:33:22   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan IR_Com)
04:33:22   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:33:22 Pointing updates are enabled
04:33:22 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:33:22   Start slew to IR_Com...
04:33:24   (wait for slew to complete)
04:33:53   (slew complete)
04:33:53     [flip check:  Tn=600s HAc=-6610s GW=T HAz=-6010s DWz=T WF=no]
04:33:53   Updating pointing...
04:33:53   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:33:53   Focus change of 20 steps required
04:33:55   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:33:55   (using Fast readout mode)
04:33:55   (starting exposure)
04:34:13   (exposure complete)
04:34:15   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:34:16   Image finished
04:34:16   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:34:16   260 image stars found
04:34:17   151 catalog stars found
04:34:18   Solved! 52 stars matched.
04:34:18   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
04:34:18   Pointing error is 3.389 arcmin @ angle 85.26
04:34:18   True focal length is 3471.1 mm.
04:34:18   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
04:34:18   True image center (J2000): 12h 39m 46.6s   21° 08' 23.15"
04:34:18   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
04:34:18   [sync] pointing model updated
04:34:18   Re-slew to target.
04:34:18   Start slew to IR_Com...
04:34:19   (wait for slew to complete)
04:34:29   (slew complete)
04:34:29   Target is now centered.
04:34:29   (high cadence option, no web previews)
04:34:29   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
04:34:29   Switching from SR to R filter for imaging
04:34:29   Focus change of 270 steps required
04:34:33   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:34:48   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=225 Y=841
04:34:48 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:34:48 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
04:35:01   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.017 Y=608.0081
04:35:01 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:35:01 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
04:35:01 **Autoguiding failed.
