Licensed to Arne Henden
02:48:33 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:48:34 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:48:34   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:48:34 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:48:35 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:48:35 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:48:35 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:48:35 Dome is MaxDome
02:48:35 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:48:35 Imager is ASCOM
02:48:35 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:48:35 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240412@024243 UTC
02:48:35 Imager readout modes:
02:48:35   0 is Fast
02:48:35   1 is Normal
02:48:35 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:48:35 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:48:35 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:48:35 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:48:35 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:48:35 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:48:35 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:48:35 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:48:35 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:48:35 ==== Starting target V838_Mon ====
02:48:35 ACPS Observation V838_Mon(1 of 1)
02:48:35   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P237_CWT_AUTO_ver3515, Plan V838_Mon)
02:48:35   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:48:35 Pointing updates are enabled
02:48:35 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:48:35   Start slew to V838_Mon...
02:48:37   (wait for slew to complete)
02:49:07   (slew complete)

02:49:07   Updating pointing...
02:49:07   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:49:07   (using Fast readout mode)
02:49:07   (starting exposure)
02:49:22   (exposure complete)
02:49:24   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:49:26   Image finished
02:49:26   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:49:26   2511 image stars found
02:49:27   483 catalog stars found
02:49:28   Solved! 194 stars matched.
02:49:28   Average residual is 0.25 arcsec.
02:49:28   Pointing error is 2.501 arcmin @ angle 73.00
02:49:28   True focal length is 3467.9 mm.
02:49:28   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:49:28   True image center (J2000): 07h 04m 14.4s   -03° 50' 06.72"
02:49:28   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
02:49:28   [sync] pointing model updated
02:49:28   Re-slew to target.
02:49:28   Start slew to V838_Mon...
02:49:30   (wait for slew to complete)
02:49:39   (slew complete)
02:49:39   Target is now centered.
02:49:39   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:49:39   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
02:49:39   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
02:49:39   Focus change of 50 steps required
02:49:42   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
02:49:52   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=453.6158 Y=351.123
02:49:52 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:49:52 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
02:50:05   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1327.745 Y=612.407
02:50:06 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:50:06 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
02:50:06 **Autoguiding failed.
