Licensed to Arne Henden
03:11:49 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:11:49 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:11:49   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:11:49 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:11:50 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:11:50 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:11:50 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:11:50 Dome is MaxDome
03:11:50 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:11:50 Imager is ASCOM
03:11:50 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:11:50 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240507@031058 UTC
03:11:50 Imager readout modes:
03:11:50   0 is Fast
03:11:50   1 is Normal
03:11:50 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:11:50 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:11:50 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:11:50 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:11:50 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:11:50 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:11:50 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:11:50 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:11:50 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:11:50 ==== Starting target HS1340+1524 ====
03:11:50 ACPS Observation HS1340+1524(1 of 1)
03:11:50   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan HS1340+1524)
03:11:50   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:11:51 Pointing updates are enabled
03:11:51 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:11:51   Start slew to HS1340+1524...
03:11:52   (wait for slew to complete)
03:12:12   (slew complete)
03:12:12     [flip check:  Tn=480s HAc=-9440s GW=T HAz=-8960s DWz=T WF=no]
03:12:12   Updating pointing...
03:12:12   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:12:12   Focus change of -320 steps required
03:12:16   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:12:16   (using Fast readout mode)
03:12:16   (starting exposure)
03:12:42   (exposure complete)
03:12:44   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:12:45   Image finished
03:12:45   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:12:46   229 image stars found
03:12:46   113 catalog stars found
03:12:47   Solved! 39 stars matched.
03:12:47   Average residual is 0.34 arcsec.
03:12:47   Pointing error is 1.444 arcmin @ angle 85.55
03:12:47   True focal length is 3474.0 mm.
03:12:47   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:12:47   True image center (J2000): 13h 43m 29.4s   15° 09' 22.71"
03:12:47   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
03:12:47   [sync] pointing model updated
03:12:47   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:12:47   Target is now centered.
03:12:47   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:12:47   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:12:47   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
03:12:47   Focus change of 290 steps required
03:12:51   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:13:05   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=944.0051 Y=801.9925
03:13:05 **No stars at all found in guider image
03:13:05 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:13:18   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=912.9106 Y=459.006
03:13:19 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:13:19 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
03:13:19 **Autoguiding failed.
