Licensed to Arne Henden
03:29:24 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:29:24 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:29:24   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:29:24 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:29:26 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:29:26 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:29:26 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:29:26 Dome is MaxDome
03:29:26 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:29:26 Imager is ASCOM
03:29:26 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:29:26 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240507@032709 UTC
03:29:26 Imager readout modes:
03:29:26   0 is Fast
03:29:26   1 is Normal
03:29:26 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:29:26 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:29:26 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:29:26 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:29:26 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:29:26 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:29:26 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:29:26 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:29:26 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:29:26 ==== Starting target GZ_Cnc ====
03:29:26 ACPS Observation GZ_Cnc(1 of 1)
03:29:26   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan GZ_Cnc)
03:29:26   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:29:26 Pointing updates are enabled
03:29:26 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:29:26   Start slew to GZ_Cnc...
03:29:28   (wait for slew to complete)
03:31:04   (slew complete)
03:31:04     [flip check:  Tn=540s HAc=7741s GW=T HAz=8281s DWz=T WF=no]
03:31:04   Updating pointing...
03:31:04   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:31:04   Focus change of -320 steps required
03:31:08   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:31:08   (using Fast readout mode)
03:31:08   (starting exposure)
03:31:34   (exposure complete)
03:31:37   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:31:38   Image finished
03:31:38   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:31:38   314 image stars found
03:31:38   127 catalog stars found
03:31:39   Solved! 50 stars matched.
03:31:39   Average residual is 0.29 arcsec.
03:31:39   Pointing error is 0.346 arcmin @ angle 11.85
03:31:39   True focal length is 3474.7 mm.
03:31:39   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:31:39   True image center (J2000): 09h 15m 52.0s   09° 01' 08.34"
03:31:39   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
03:31:39   [sync] pointing model updated
03:31:39   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:31:39   Target is now centered.
03:31:39   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:31:39   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
03:31:39   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
03:31:39   Focus change of 290 steps required
03:31:43   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:31:57   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=728.1536 Y=568.9528
03:31:57 **No stars at all found in guider image
03:31:57 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:32:09   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=912.7194 Y=459.3772
03:32:10 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:32:10 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
03:32:10 **Autoguiding failed.
