Licensed to Arne Henden
06:40:43 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:40:43 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:40:43   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:40:43 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:40:45 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:40:45 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:40:45 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:40:45 Dome is MaxDome
06:40:45 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:40:45 Imager is ASCOM
06:40:45 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:40:45 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240412@063920 UTC
06:40:45 Imager readout modes:
06:40:45   0 is Fast
06:40:45   1 is Normal
06:40:45 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:40:45 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:40:45 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:40:45 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:40:45 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:40:45 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:40:45 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:40:45 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:40:45 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:40:45 ==== Starting target X_Ser ====
06:40:45 ACPS Observation X_Ser(1 of 1)
06:40:45   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan X_Ser)
06:40:45   (turning on sidereal tracking)
06:40:45 Pointing updates are enabled
06:40:45 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
06:40:45   Start slew to X_Ser...
06:40:47   (wait for slew to complete)
06:41:56   (slew complete)
06:41:56     [flip check:  Tn=480s HAc=-12094s GW=T HAz=-11614s DWz=T WF=no]
06:41:56   Updating pointing...
06:41:56   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
06:41:56   (using Fast readout mode)
06:41:56   (starting exposure)
06:42:12   (exposure complete)
06:42:15   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
06:42:16   Image finished
06:42:16   Plate-solve pointing image.
06:42:17   400 image stars found
06:42:17   193 catalog stars found
06:42:18   Solved! 63 stars matched.
06:42:18   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
06:42:18   Pointing error is 1.488 arcmin @ angle 279.39
06:42:18   True focal length is 3467.9 mm.
06:42:18   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
06:42:18   True image center (J2000): 16h 19m 11.8s   -02° 29' 15.04"
06:42:18   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
06:42:18   [sync] pointing model updated
06:42:18   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
06:42:18   Target is now centered.
06:42:18   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:42:18   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
06:42:18   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
06:42:18   Focus change of 290 steps required
06:42:22   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:42:36   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=275.438 Y=495.0835
06:42:36   (guide star SNR=15.4 X=275 Y=495)
06:42:36   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
06:42:41   (guide star SNR=3.6 X=275 Y=495)
06:42:41   (final exposure for guiding 1 sec)
06:42:46   (guide star SNR=3.4 X=276 Y=493)
06:42:47 **Guider unexpectedly stopped while waiting for measurement
06:42:49   (take guider image at initial interval 1 sec)
06:42:53   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=602.0029 Y=59
06:42:53 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:42:53 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:43:06   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.152 Y=608.3439
06:43:07 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:43:07 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
06:43:07 **Autoguiding failed.
