Licensed to Arne Henden
07:00:27 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:00:27 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:00:27   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:00:27 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:00:28 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:00:28 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:00:28 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:00:28 Dome is MaxDome
07:00:29 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:00:29 Imager is ASCOM
07:00:29 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:00:29 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240412@064222 UTC
07:00:29 Imager readout modes:
07:00:29   0 is Fast
07:00:29   1 is Normal
07:00:29 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:00:29 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:00:29 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:00:29 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:00:29 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:00:29 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:00:29 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:00:29 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:00:29 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:00:29 ==== Starting target MV_Lyr ====
07:00:29 ACPS Observation MV_Lyr(1 of 1)
07:00:29   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P233_DKS_AUTO_ver2623, Plan MV_Lyr)
07:00:29   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:00:29 Pointing updates are enabled
07:00:29 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
07:00:29   Start slew to MV_Lyr...
07:00:31   (wait for slew to complete)
07:01:15   (slew complete)
07:01:15     [flip check:  Tn=660s HAc=-20979s GW=T HAz=-20319s DWz=T WF=no]
07:01:15   Updating pointing...
07:01:15   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
07:01:15   Focus change of -290 steps required
07:01:19   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:01:19   (using Fast readout mode)
07:01:19   (starting exposure)
07:01:44   (exposure complete)
07:01:46   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
07:01:47   Image finished
07:01:47   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:01:48   845 image stars found
07:01:48   331 catalog stars found
07:01:49   Solved! 140 stars matched.
07:01:49   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
07:01:49   Pointing error is 0.459 arcmin @ angle 185.59
07:01:49   True focal length is 3465.6 mm.
07:01:49   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
07:01:49   True image center (J2000): 19h 07m 16.0s   44° 00' 41.21"
07:01:49   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
07:01:49   [sync] pointing model updated
07:01:49   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
07:01:49   Target is now centered.
07:01:49   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:01:49   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
07:01:49   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
07:01:49   Focus change of 50 steps required
07:01:52   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:02:01   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.762 Y=608.1439
07:02:02 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:02:02 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:02:15   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.563 Y=608.2311
07:02:15 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:02:15 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
07:02:15 **Autoguiding failed.
