Licensed to Arne Henden
04:09:13 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:09:13 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:09:13   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:09:13 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:09:14 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:09:14 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:09:14 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:09:14 Dome is MaxDome
04:09:14 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:09:14 Imager is ASCOM
04:09:14 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:09:14 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240412@040624 UTC
04:09:14 Imager readout modes:
04:09:14   0 is Fast
04:09:14   1 is Normal
04:09:14 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:09:14 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:09:14 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:09:14 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:09:14 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:09:14 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:09:14 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:09:14 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:09:14 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:09:14 ==== Starting target J072816 ====
04:09:14 ACPS Observation J072816(1 of 1)
04:09:14   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan J072816)
04:09:14   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:09:14 Pointing updates are enabled
04:09:14 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:09:14   Start slew to J072816...
04:09:16   (wait for slew to complete)
04:09:55   (slew complete)

04:09:55   Updating pointing...
04:09:55   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:09:55   Focus change of -320 steps required
04:09:59   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:09:59   (using Fast readout mode)
04:09:59   (starting exposure)
04:10:24   (exposure complete)
04:10:27   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:10:28   Image finished
04:10:28   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:10:29   420 image stars found
04:10:29   313 catalog stars found
04:10:30   Solved! 130 stars matched.
04:10:30   Average residual is 0.36 arcsec.
04:10:30   Pointing error is 0.734 arcmin @ angle 257.05
04:10:30   True focal length is 3467.6 mm.
04:10:30   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
04:10:30   True image center (J2000): 07h 28m 07.0s   75° 16' 05.31"
04:10:30   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
04:10:30   [sync] pointing model updated
04:10:30   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
04:10:30   Target is now centered.
04:10:30   (high cadence option, no web previews)
04:10:30   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
04:10:30   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
04:10:30   Focus change of -20 steps required
04:10:33   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:10:47   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=973.2932 Y=68.70578
04:10:48   (guide star SNR=14.9 X=973 Y=68)
04:10:48   (first exposure estimate 1.01 sec)
04:10:53   (guide star SNR=3.2 X=972 Y=68)
04:10:53   (final exposure for guiding 1 sec)
04:10:57   (guide star SNR=3.2 X=972 Y=68)
04:10:59 **Guider unexpectedly stopped while waiting for measurement
04:11:00   (take guider image at initial interval 1 sec)
04:11:04   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.012 Y=608.0029
04:11:05 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:11:05 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
04:11:18   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1324.913 Y=602.9799
04:11:18 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:11:18 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
04:11:18 **Autoguiding failed.
