Licensed to Arne Henden
02:35:09 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:35:09 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:35:09   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:35:09 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:35:10 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:35:10 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:35:10 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:35:10 Dome is MaxDome
02:35:10 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:35:10 Imager is ASCOM
02:35:10 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:35:11 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240412@023000 UTC
02:35:11 Imager readout modes:
02:35:11   0 is Fast
02:35:11   1 is Normal
02:35:11 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:35:11 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:35:11 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:35:11 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:35:11 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:35:11 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:35:11 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:35:11 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:35:11 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:35:11 ==== Starting target KN_Lyn ====
02:35:11 ACPS Observation KN_Lyn(1 of 1)
02:35:11   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver3479, Plan KN_Lyn)
02:35:11   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:35:11 Pointing updates are enabled
02:35:11 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:35:11   Start slew to KN_Lyn...
02:35:12   (wait for slew to complete)
02:35:50   (slew complete)
02:35:50     [flip check:  Tn=502s HAc=2032s GW=T HAz=2534s DWz=T WF=no]
02:35:50   Updating pointing...
02:35:50   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:35:50   (using Fast readout mode)
02:35:50   (starting exposure)
02:36:05   (exposure complete)
02:36:08   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:36:09   Image finished
02:36:09   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:36:10   321 image stars found
02:36:10   252 catalog stars found
02:36:11   Solved! 112 stars matched.
02:36:11   Average residual is 0.35 arcsec.
02:36:11   Pointing error is 1.252 arcmin @ angle 270.96
02:36:11   True focal length is 3462.2 mm.
02:36:11   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:36:11   True image center (J2000): 08h 16m 28.9s   47° 50' 43.74"
02:36:11   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
02:36:11   [sync] pointing model updated
02:36:11   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:36:11   Target is now centered.
02:36:11   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:36:11   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
02:36:11   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
02:36:11   Focus change of 50 steps required
02:36:13   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
02:36:22   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=708.3675 Y=456.9543
02:36:23 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:36:23 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
02:36:36   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.724 Y=608.1309
02:36:36   (guide star SNR=7.5 X=1326 Y=608)
02:36:36   (first exposure estimate 4.01 sec)
02:36:45 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:36:45 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
02:36:45 **Autoguiding failed.
