Licensed to Arne Henden
03:17:35 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:17:35 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:17:35   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:17:35 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:17:36 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:17:36 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:17:36 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:17:36 Dome is MaxDome
03:17:36 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:17:36 Imager is ASCOM
03:17:36 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:17:36 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240507@031703 UTC
03:17:36 Imager readout modes:
03:17:36   0 is Fast
03:17:36   1 is Normal
03:17:36 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:17:36 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:17:36 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:17:36 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:17:36 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:17:36 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:17:36 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:17:36 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:17:36 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:17:36 ==== Starting target IR_Com ====
03:17:36 ACPS Observation IR_Com(1 of 1)
03:17:36   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan IR_Com)
03:17:36   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:17:36 Pointing updates are enabled
03:17:36 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:17:36   Start slew to IR_Com...
03:17:38   (wait for slew to complete)
03:18:07   (slew complete)
03:18:07     [flip check:  Tn=600s HAc=-5254s GW=T HAz=-4654s DWz=T WF=no]
03:18:07   Updating pointing...
03:18:07   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:18:07   Focus change of 20 steps required
03:18:10   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:18:10   (using Fast readout mode)
03:18:10   (starting exposure)
03:18:27   (exposure complete)
03:18:29   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:18:30   Image finished
03:18:30   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:18:31   250 image stars found
03:18:31   151 catalog stars found
03:18:32   Solved! 49 stars matched.
03:18:32   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
03:18:32   Pointing error is 1.108 arcmin @ angle 79.04
03:18:32   True focal length is 3467.8 mm.
03:18:32   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:18:32   True image center (J2000): 12h 39m 36.8s   21° 08' 19.04"
03:18:32   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
03:18:32   [sync] pointing model updated
03:18:32   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:18:32   Target is now centered.
03:18:32   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:18:32   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:18:32   Switching from SR to R filter for imaging
03:18:32   Focus change of 270 steps required
03:18:36   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:18:50   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=723.0002 Y=913
03:18:51 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:18:51 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:19:04   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=913.0921 Y=459.0343
03:19:04 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:19:04 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
03:19:04 **Autoguiding failed.
