Licensed to Arne Henden
06:35:16 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:35:16 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:35:16   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:35:16 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:35:17 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:35:17 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:35:17 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:35:17 Dome is MaxDome
06:35:17 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:35:17 Imager is ASCOM
06:35:17 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:35:17 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240412@061455 UTC
06:35:17 Imager readout modes:
06:35:17   0 is Fast
06:35:17   1 is Normal
06:35:17 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:35:17 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:35:17 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:35:17 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:35:17 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:35:17 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:35:17 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:35:17 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:35:17 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:35:17 ==== Starting target X_Ser ====
06:35:17 ACPS Observation X_Ser(1 of 1)
06:35:17   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_MRV_AUTO_ver3136, Plan X_Ser)
06:35:17   (turning on sidereal tracking)
06:35:17 Pointing updates are enabled
06:35:17 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
06:35:17   Start slew to X_Ser...
06:35:19   (wait for slew to complete)
06:36:29   (slew complete)
06:36:29     [flip check:  Tn=600s HAc=-12423s GW=T HAz=-11823s DWz=T WF=no]
06:36:29   Updating pointing...
06:36:29   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
06:36:29   (using Fast readout mode)
06:36:29   (starting exposure)
06:36:45   (exposure complete)
06:36:47   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
06:36:48   Image finished
06:36:48   Plate-solve pointing image.
06:36:49   504 image stars found
06:36:49   193 catalog stars found
06:36:50   Solved! 67 stars matched.
06:36:50   Average residual is 0.27 arcsec.
06:36:50   Pointing error is 1.483 arcmin @ angle 280.30
06:36:50   True focal length is 3468.1 mm.
06:36:50   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
06:36:50   True image center (J2000): 16h 19m 11.8s   -02° 29' 13.68"
06:36:50   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
06:36:50   [sync] pointing model updated
06:36:50   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
06:36:50   Target is now centered.
06:36:50   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:36:50   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
06:36:50   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
06:36:50   Focus change of 320 steps required
06:36:54   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:37:07   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=281.1665 Y=500.2424
06:37:08   (guide star SNR=16.3 X=281 Y=500)
06:37:08   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
06:37:13   (guide star SNR=3.4 X=280 Y=502)
06:37:13   (final exposure for guiding 1 sec)
06:37:18   (guide star SNR=3.4 X=279 Y=501)
06:37:19 **Guider unexpectedly stopped while waiting for measurement
06:37:20   (take guider image at initial interval 1 sec)
06:37:25   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=452 Y=347
06:37:25 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:37:25 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:37:38   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.493 Y=608.0467
06:37:39 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:37:39 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
06:37:39 **Autoguiding failed.
