Licensed to Arne Henden
07:49:12 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:49:12 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:49:12   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:49:12 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:49:13 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:49:13 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:49:13 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:49:13 Dome is MaxDome
07:49:13 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:49:13 Imager is ASCOM
07:49:13 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:49:13 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240412@074415 UTC
07:49:13 Imager readout modes:
07:49:13   0 is Fast
07:49:13   1 is Normal
07:49:13 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:49:13 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:49:13 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:49:13 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:49:13 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:49:13 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:49:13 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:49:13 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:49:13 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:49:13 ==== Starting target U_Sco ====
07:49:13 ACPS Observation U_Sco(1 of 1)
07:49:13   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan U_Sco)
07:49:13   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:49:13 Pointing updates are enabled
07:49:13 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
07:49:13   Start slew to U_Sco...
07:49:15   (wait for slew to complete)
07:49:50   (slew complete)

07:49:50   Updating pointing...
07:49:50   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
07:49:50   Focus change of -290 steps required
07:49:54   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:49:54   (using Fast readout mode)
07:49:54   (starting exposure)
07:50:19   (exposure complete)
07:50:21   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
07:50:22   Image finished
07:50:22   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:50:22   343 image stars found
07:50:23   254 catalog stars found
07:50:24   Solved! 66 stars matched.
07:50:24   Average residual is 0.36 arcsec.
07:50:24   Pointing error is 2.958 arcmin @ angle 82.36
07:50:24   True focal length is 3468.7 mm.
07:50:24   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
07:50:24   True image center (J2000): 16h 22m 43.1s   -17° 52' 19.18"
07:50:24   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
07:50:24   [sync] pointing model updated
07:50:24   Re-slew to target.
07:50:24   Start slew to U_Sco...
07:50:26   (wait for slew to complete)
07:50:30   (slew complete)
07:50:30   Target is now centered.
07:50:30   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:50:30   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
07:50:30   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
07:50:30   Focus change of 290 steps required
07:50:33   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:50:47   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=944 Y=802
07:50:48 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:50:48 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:51:01   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1321.032 Y=171.0878
07:51:01 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:51:01 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
07:51:01 **Autoguiding failed.
