Licensed to Arne Henden
04:45:40 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:45:40 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:45:40   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:45:40 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:45:41 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:45:41 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:45:41 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:45:41 Dome is MaxDome
04:45:41 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:45:41 Imager is ASCOM
04:45:41 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:45:41 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240514@044510 UTC
04:45:41 Imager readout modes:
04:45:41   0 is Fast
04:45:41   1 is Normal
04:45:41 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:45:41 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:45:41 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:45:41 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:45:41 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:45:41 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:45:41 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:45:41 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:45:41 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:45:41 ==== Starting target J072816 ====
04:45:41 ACPS Observation J072816(1 of 1)
04:45:41   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan J072816)
04:45:41   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:45:42 Pointing updates are enabled
04:45:42 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:45:42   Start slew to J072816...
04:45:43   (wait for slew to complete)
04:46:44   (slew complete)
04:46:44     [flip check:  Tn=480s HAc=11912s GW=T HAz=20774s DWz=T WF=no]
04:46:44   Updating pointing...
04:46:44   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:46:44   Focus change of 20 steps required
04:46:47   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:46:47   (using Fast readout mode)
04:46:47   (starting exposure)
04:47:04   (exposure complete)
04:47:07   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:47:08   Image finished
04:47:08   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:47:09   384 image stars found
04:47:09   313 catalog stars found
04:47:17 ** Failed to solve plate, possibly due to input plate scale being too far off.
04:47:18   Start slew to offset...
04:47:18 **Pointing update error from ASCOM.SiTechDll.Telescope:
    sttgaSiTech Says: Motor(s) in Blinky Mode!
04:47:18   (high cadence option, no web previews)
04:47:18   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
04:47:18   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
04:47:18   Focus change of -20 steps required
04:47:21   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:47:35   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
04:47:35 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:47:36 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
04:47:49   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=913.0201 Y=459.1338
04:47:50 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:47:50 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
04:47:50 **Autoguiding failed.
