Licensed to Arne Henden
02:38:37 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:38:38 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:38:38   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:38:38 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:38:39 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:38:39 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:38:39 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:38:39 Dome is MaxDome
02:38:39 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:38:39 Imager is ASCOM
02:38:39 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:38:39 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240412@023804 UTC
02:38:39 Imager readout modes:
02:38:39   0 is Fast
02:38:39   1 is Normal
02:38:39 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:38:39 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:38:39 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:38:39 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:38:39 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:38:39 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:38:39 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:38:39 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:38:39 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:38:39 ==== Starting target V1112_Per ====
02:38:39 ACPS Observation V1112_Per(1 of 1)
02:38:39   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P167_HGUA_AUTO_ver2706, Plan V1112_Per)
02:38:39   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:38:39 Pointing updates are enabled
02:38:39 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:38:39   Start slew to V1112_Per...
02:38:41   (wait for slew to complete)

02:39:46   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:39:46   Focus change of -320 steps required
02:39:50   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:39:50   (using Fast readout mode)
02:39:50   (starting exposure)
02:40:16   (exposure complete)
02:40:18   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:40:19   Image finished
02:40:19   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:40:20   990 image stars found
02:40:20   424 catalog stars found
02:40:23   Solved! 144 stars matched.
02:40:23   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
02:40:23   Pointing error is 1.258 arcmin @ angle 85.70
02:40:23   True focal length is 3462.8 mm.
02:40:23   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:40:23   True image center (J2000): 04h 29m 25.8s   43° 54' 28.65"
02:40:23   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
02:40:23   [sync] pointing model updated
02:40:23   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:40:23   Target is now centered.
02:40:23   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:40:23   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
02:40:23   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
02:40:23   Focus change of 320 steps required
02:40:27   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
02:40:39   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=294.331 Y=493.3909
02:40:40   (guide star SNR=34.7 X=294 Y=494)
02:40:40   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
02:40:45   (guide star SNR=8.2 X=293 Y=493)
02:40:45   (final exposure for guiding 1 sec)
02:40:50   (guide star SNR=8.4 X=293 Y=492)

02:41:29 **Guider waited for 10 sec and never got a measurement
02:41:29 **Guider stopped or lost star just before image acquisition
