This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
03:19:10 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:19:10 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:19:10   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:19:10 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:19:11 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:19:11 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:19:11 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:19:11 Dome is MaxDome
03:19:12 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:19:12 Imager is ASCOM
03:19:12 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:19:12 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20240507@031836 UTC
03:19:12 Imager readout modes:
03:19:12   0 is Fast
03:19:12   1 is Normal
03:19:12 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:19:12 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:19:12 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:19:12 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:19:12 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:19:12 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:19:12 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:19:12 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:19:12 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:19:12 ==== Starting target U_Leo ====
03:19:12 ACPS Observation U_Leo(1 of 1)
03:19:12   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan U_Leo)
03:19:12   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:19:12 Pointing updates are enabled
03:19:12 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:19:12   Start slew to U_Leo...
03:19:13   (wait for slew to complete)
03:19:53   (slew complete)
03:19:53     [flip check:  Tn=600s HAc=2975s GW=T HAz=3575s DWz=T WF=no]
03:19:53   Updating pointing...
03:19:53   Switching from R to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:19:53   Focus change of -270 steps required
03:19:57   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:19:57   (using Fast readout mode)
03:19:57   (starting exposure)
03:20:21   (exposure complete)
03:20:23   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:20:24   Image finished
03:20:24   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:20:25   265 image stars found
03:20:25   150 catalog stars found
03:20:26   Solved! 53 stars matched.
03:20:26   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
03:20:26   Pointing error is 0.497 arcmin @ angle 44.87
03:20:26   True focal length is 3468.1 mm.
03:20:26   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:20:26   True image center (J2000): 10h 24m 05.2s   14° 00' 47.14"
03:20:26   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
03:20:26   [sync] pointing model updated
03:20:26   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:20:26   Target is now centered.
03:20:26   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:20:26   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:20:26   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
03:20:26   Focus change of 290 steps required
03:20:30   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:20:43   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1160.826 Y=865
03:20:44 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:20:44 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:20:57   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=912.8538 Y=459.037
03:20:58 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:20:58 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
03:20:58 **Autoguiding failed.
