This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
02:54:12 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:54:12 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:54:12   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:54:12 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:54:13 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:54:13 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:54:13 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:54:13 Dome is MaxDome
02:54:13 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:54:13 Imager is ASCOM
02:54:13 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:54:13 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240504@024858 UTC
02:54:13 Imager readout modes:
02:54:13   0 is Fast
02:54:13   1 is Normal
02:54:13 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:54:13 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:54:13 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:54:13 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:54:13 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:54:13 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:54:13 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:54:13 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:54:13 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:54:13 ==== Starting target KN_Lyn ====
02:54:13 ACPS Observation KN_Lyn(1 of 1)
02:54:13   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver3479, Plan KN_Lyn)
02:54:13   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:54:13 Pointing updates are enabled
02:54:13 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:54:14   Start slew to KN_Lyn...
02:54:15   (wait for slew to complete)
02:54:36   (slew complete)
02:54:36     [flip check:  Tn=502s HAc=8366s GW=T HAz=8868s DWz=T WF=no]
02:54:36   Updating pointing...
02:54:36   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:54:36   (using Fast readout mode)
02:54:36   (starting exposure)
02:54:53   (exposure complete)
02:54:55   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:54:57   Image finished
02:54:57   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:54:57   335 image stars found
02:54:57   252 catalog stars found
02:54:59   Solved! 91 stars matched.
02:54:59   Average residual is 0.34 arcsec.
02:54:59   Pointing error is 0.169 arcmin @ angle 171.69
02:54:59   True focal length is 3468.2 mm.
02:54:59   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:54:59   True image center (J2000): 08h 16m 36.5s   47° 50' 32.48"
02:54:59   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
02:54:59   [sync] pointing model updated
02:54:59   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:54:59   Target is now centered.
02:54:59   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:54:59   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
02:54:59   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
02:54:59   Focus change of 50 steps required
02:55:02   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
02:55:11   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=913.4931 Y=459.0386
02:55:12 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:55:12 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
02:55:25   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=912.9888 Y=459.0068
02:55:25   (guide star SNR=36.0 X=913 Y=459)
02:55:25   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
02:55:30 **No stars at all found in guider image
02:55:31 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
02:55:31 **Autoguiding failed.
