Licensed to Arne Henden
10:53:06 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:53:06 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:53:06   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:53:06 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:53:07 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:53:07 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:53:07 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:53:07 Dome is MaxDome
10:53:07 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:53:07 Imager is ASCOM
10:53:07 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:53:07 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240507@105105 UTC
10:53:07 Imager readout modes:
10:53:07   0 is Fast
10:53:07   1 is Normal
10:53:07 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:53:07 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:53:07 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:53:07 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:53:07 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:53:07 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:53:07 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:53:07 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:53:07 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:53:07 ==== Starting target V630_Cas ====
10:53:07 ACPS Observation V630_Cas(1 of 1)
10:53:07   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan V630_Cas)
10:53:07   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:53:08 Pointing updates are enabled
10:53:08 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:53:08   Start slew to V630_Cas...
10:53:09   (wait for slew to complete)
10:53:23   (slew complete)
10:53:23   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)

10:53:23   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:53:23   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
10:53:23   Switching from B to V filter for imaging
10:53:23   Focus change of -30 steps required
10:53:25   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:53:34   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=283.0492 Y=401.1035
10:53:35   (guide star SNR=32.9 X=283 Y=401)
10:53:35   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)

10:53:52   Imaging to V630_Cas_V_20240507_105351_T3
10:53:52   (taking 180 sec. exposure, V filter, binning = 2)
10:53:52   (using Normal readout mode)

10:53:53   (guider check OK)
10:53:53   (starting exposure)
10:57:04   (exposure complete)
10:57:06   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:57:07   Image finished
10:57:08   Plate-solve V630_Cas_V_20240507_105351_T3 final image.
10:57:12   7265 image stars found
10:57:12   240 catalog stars found
10:57:16   Solved! 61 stars matched.
10:57:16   Average residual is 0.17 arcsec.
10:57:16   Pointing error is 0.730 arcmin @ angle 178.37
10:57:16   (pointing corrector updated with this observation)
10:57:16   True focal length is 3473.7 mm.
10:57:16   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.45 V = 0.45
10:57:16   True image center (J2000): 23h 48m 52.1s   51° 26' 55.23"
10:57:16   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
10:57:16   Image FWHM is 2.5 arcsec (5.58 pixels)
10:57:16   (avg FWHM = 2.37 arcsec)
10:57:16   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.

10:57:16   Imaging to V630_Cas_V_20240507_105716_T3
10:57:16   (taking 180 sec. exposure, V filter, binning = 2)
10:57:16   (using Normal readout mode)
10:57:16   (ex=0.00 ey=0.00)
10:57:16   (guider error n/a or too high, try #1)
10:57:28 **Guider waited for 10 sec and never got a measurement
10:57:29 **Guider stopped or lost star just before image acquisition
