Licensed to Arne Henden
05:14:11 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:14:11 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:14:11   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:14:11 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:14:12 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:14:12 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:14:12 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:14:12 Dome is MaxDome
05:14:12 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:14:12 Imager is ASCOM
05:14:12 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:14:12 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240412@051337 UTC
05:14:12 Imager readout modes:
05:14:12   0 is Fast
05:14:12   1 is Normal
05:14:12 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:14:12 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:14:12 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:14:12 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:14:12 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:14:12 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:14:12 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:14:12 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:14:12 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:14:12 ==== Starting target OI_158 ====
05:14:12 ACPS Observation OI_158(1 of 1)
05:14:12   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_GCO_AUTO_ver2706, Plan OI_158)
05:14:12   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:14:12 Pointing updates are enabled
05:14:12 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:14:12   Start slew to OI_158...
05:14:14   (wait for slew to complete)

05:14:43   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:14:43   Focus change of -290 steps required
05:14:47   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:14:47   (using Fast readout mode)
05:14:47   (starting exposure)
05:15:12   (exposure complete)
05:15:15   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:15:16   Image finished
05:15:16   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:15:17   715 image stars found
05:15:17   440 catalog stars found
05:15:18   Solved! 198 stars matched.
05:15:18   Average residual is 0.28 arcsec.
05:15:18   Pointing error is 2.037 arcmin @ angle 78.88
05:15:18   True focal length is 3467.4 mm.
05:15:18   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

05:15:18   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
05:15:18   [sync] pointing model updated
05:15:18   Re-slew to target.
05:15:18   Start slew to OI_158...
05:15:22   (wait for slew to complete)
05:15:26   (slew complete)
05:15:26   Target is now centered.
05:15:26   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:15:26   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
05:15:26   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
05:15:26   Focus change of 290 steps required
05:15:29   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:15:43   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1280.955 Y=947.4637
05:15:44   (guide star SNR=4.9 X=1281 Y=947)
05:15:44   (first exposure estimate 3.06 sec)
05:15:51   (guide star SNR=2.8 X=1281 Y=948)
05:15:51   (final exposure for guiding 3.23 sec)
05:15:58   (guide star SNR=2.9 X=1281 Y=949)
05:16:17 **Guider waited for 16.15 sec and never got a measurement
05:16:18   (take guider image at initial interval 3.23 sec)
05:16:24   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=728 Y=569
05:16:25 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:16:25 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:16:38   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.103 Y=608.2341
05:16:38 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:16:38 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
05:16:38 **Autoguiding failed.
