Licensed to Arne Henden
03:10:24 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:10:24 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:10:24   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:10:24 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:10:25 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:10:25 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:10:25 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:10:25 Dome is MaxDome
03:10:25 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:10:25 Imager is ASCOM
03:10:25 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:10:25 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240412@031006 UTC
03:10:25 Imager readout modes:
03:10:25   0 is Fast
03:10:25   1 is Normal
03:10:25 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:10:25 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:10:25 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:10:25 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:10:25 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:10:25 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:10:25 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:10:25 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:10:25 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:10:25 ==== Starting target L1022_IRS ====
03:10:25 ACPS Observation L1022_IRS(1 of 1)
03:10:25   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan L1022_IRS)
03:10:25   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:10:25 Pointing updates are enabled
03:10:25 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:10:25   Start slew to L1022_IRS...
03:10:27   (wait for slew to complete)
03:11:12   (slew complete)
03:11:12     [flip check:  Tn=540s HAc=8950s GW=T HAz=9490s DWz=T WF=no]
03:11:12   Updating pointing...
03:11:12   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:11:12   Focus change of -290 steps required
03:11:15   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:11:15   (using Fast readout mode)
03:11:15   (starting exposure)
03:11:40   (exposure complete)
03:11:43   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:11:44   Image finished
03:11:44   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:11:44   333 image stars found
03:11:44   391 catalog stars found
03:11:45   Solved! 119 stars matched.
03:11:45   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
03:11:45   Pointing error is 2.923 arcmin @ angle 283.16
03:11:45   True focal length is 3469.8 mm.
03:11:45   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:11:45   True image center (J2000): 06h 57m 10.2s   -08° 17' 45.35"
03:11:45   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
03:11:46   [sync] pointing model updated
03:11:46   Re-slew to target.
03:11:46   Start slew to L1022_IRS...
03:11:55   (wait for slew to complete)
03:12:06   (slew complete)
03:12:06   Target is now centered.
03:12:06   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:12:06   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
03:12:06   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
03:12:06   Focus change of 290 steps required
03:12:10   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:12:24   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=251.0615 Y=672.6754
03:12:25 **No stars at all found in guider image
03:12:25 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:12:37   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.011 Y=608.002
03:12:38   (guide star SNR=8.1 X=1326 Y=608)
03:12:38   (first exposure estimate 3.7 sec)
03:12:45 **No stars at all found in guider image
03:12:45 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
03:12:45 **Autoguiding failed.
