Licensed to Arne Henden
03:56:36 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:56:36 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:56:36   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:56:36 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:56:37 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:56:37 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:56:37 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:56:37 Dome is MaxDome
03:56:37 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:56:37 Imager is ASCOM
03:56:37 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:56:37 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240412@035602 UTC
03:56:37 Imager readout modes:
03:56:37   0 is Fast
03:56:37   1 is Normal
03:56:37 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:56:37 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:56:37 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:56:37 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:56:37 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:56:37 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:56:37 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:56:37 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:56:37 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:56:37 ==== Starting target OI_158 ====
03:56:37 ACPS Observation OI_158(1 of 1)
03:56:37   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan OI_158)
03:56:37   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:56:37 Pointing updates are enabled
03:56:37 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:56:37   Start slew to OI_158...
03:56:39   (wait for slew to complete)
03:57:24   (slew complete)

03:57:24   Updating pointing...
03:57:24   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:57:24   Focus change of -290 steps required
03:57:27   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:57:27   (using Fast readout mode)
03:57:27   (starting exposure)
03:57:52   (exposure complete)
03:57:54   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:57:55   Image finished
03:57:55   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:57:56   760 image stars found
03:57:56   440 catalog stars found
03:57:58   Solved! 188 stars matched.
03:57:58   Average residual is 0.26 arcsec.
03:57:58   Pointing error is 2.582 arcmin @ angle 78.97
03:57:58   True focal length is 3467.2 mm.
03:57:58   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:57:58   True image center (J2000): 07h 38m 18.0s   17° 42' 48.63"
03:57:58   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
03:57:58   [sync] pointing model updated
03:57:58   Re-slew to target.
03:57:58   Start slew to OI_158...
03:57:59   (wait for slew to complete)
03:58:09   (slew complete)
03:58:09   Target is now centered.
03:58:09   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:58:09   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:58:09   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
03:58:09   Focus change of 290 steps required
03:58:13   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:58:27   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=32.24996 Y=417.1797
03:58:28 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:58:28 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:58:40   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.135 Y=608.2077
03:58:41 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:58:41 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
03:58:41 **Autoguiding failed.
