Licensed to Arne Henden
03:54:57 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:54:57 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:54:57   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:54:57 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:54:58 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:54:58 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:54:58 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:54:58 Dome is MaxDome
03:54:58 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:54:58 Imager is ASCOM
03:54:58 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:54:58 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240412@035122 UTC
03:54:58 Imager readout modes:
03:54:58   0 is Fast
03:54:58   1 is Normal
03:54:58 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:54:58 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:54:58 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:54:58 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:54:58 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:54:58 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:54:58 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:54:58 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:54:58 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:54:58 ==== Starting target U_Leo ====
03:54:58 ACPS Observation U_Leo(1 of 1)
03:54:58   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan U_Leo)
03:54:58   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:54:59 Pointing updates are enabled
03:54:59 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:54:59   Start slew to U_Leo...
03:55:00   (wait for slew to complete)
03:55:37   (slew complete)
03:55:37     [flip check:  Tn=600s HAc=-789s GW=T HAz=-189s DWz=T WF=no]
03:55:37   Updating pointing...
03:55:37   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:55:37   (using Fast readout mode)
03:55:37   (starting exposure)
03:55:53   (exposure complete)
03:55:56   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:55:57   Image finished
03:55:57   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:55:58   269 image stars found
03:55:58   150 catalog stars found
03:55:59   Solved! 46 stars matched.
03:55:59   Average residual is 0.26 arcsec.
03:55:59   Pointing error is 1.777 arcmin @ angle 283.77
03:55:59   True focal length is 3466.2 mm.
03:55:59   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:55:59   True image center (J2000): 10h 23m 56.7s   14° 00' 51.38"
03:55:59   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
03:55:59   [sync] pointing model updated
03:55:59   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:55:59   Target is now centered.
03:55:59   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:55:59   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:55:59   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
03:55:59   Focus change of 290 steps required
03:56:02   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:56:15   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
03:56:16 **No stars at all found in guider image
03:56:16 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:56:29   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.598 Y=608.0047
03:56:29 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:56:30 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
03:56:30 **Autoguiding failed.
