Licensed to Arne Henden
04:53:18 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:53:19 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:53:19   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:53:19 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:53:20 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:53:20 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:53:20 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:53:20 Dome is MaxDome
04:53:20 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:53:20 Imager is ASCOM
04:53:20 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:53:20 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20240412@045015 UTC
04:53:20 Imager readout modes:
04:53:20   0 is Fast
04:53:20   1 is Normal
04:53:20 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:53:20 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:53:20 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:53:20 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:53:20 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:53:20 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:53:20 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:53:20 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:53:20 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:53:20 ==== Starting target J072816 ====
04:53:20 ACPS Observation J072816(1 of 1)
04:53:20   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_WLP_AUTO_ver3464, Plan J072816)
04:53:20   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:53:20 Pointing updates are enabled
04:53:20 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:53:20   Start slew to J072816...
04:53:21   (wait for slew to complete)
04:54:31   (slew complete)
04:54:31     [flip check:  Tn=480s HAc=13190s GW=T HAz=13670s DWz=T WF=no]
04:54:31   Updating pointing...
04:54:31   Switching from R to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:54:31   Focus change of -270 steps required
04:54:35   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:54:35   (using Fast readout mode)
04:54:35   (starting exposure)
04:54:58   (exposure complete)
04:55:01   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:55:02   Image finished
04:55:02   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:55:02   422 image stars found
04:55:02   313 catalog stars found
04:55:04   Solved! 116 stars matched.
04:55:04   Average residual is 0.36 arcsec.
04:55:04   Pointing error is 0.706 arcmin @ angle 108.14
04:55:04   True focal length is 3468.6 mm.
04:55:04   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
04:55:04   True image center (J2000): 07h 28m 28.8s   75° 16' 02.00"
04:55:04   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
04:55:04   [sync] pointing model updated
04:55:04   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
04:55:04   Target is now centered.
04:55:04   (high cadence option, no web previews)
04:55:04   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
04:55:04   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
04:55:04   Focus change of -20 steps required
04:55:06   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:55:21   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1343.346 Y=370.1139
04:55:21 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:55:21 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
04:55:34   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1324.856 Y=606.2724
04:55:35 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:55:35 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
04:55:35 **Autoguiding failed.
