Licensed to Arne Henden
04:26:44 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:26:44 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:26:44   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:26:44 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:26:45 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:26:45 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:26:45 User actions detected.
04:26:45 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:26:45 Dome is MaxDome
04:26:45 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:26:45 Imager is ASCOM
04:26:45 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:26:45 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240618@042453 UTC
04:26:45 Imager readout modes:
04:26:45   0 is Fast
04:26:45   1 is Normal
04:26:45 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:26:45 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:26:45 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:26:45 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:26:45 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:26:45 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:26:45 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:26:45 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:26:45 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:26:45 ==== Starting target CG_Dra ====
04:26:45 ACPS Observation CG_Dra(1 of 1)
04:26:45   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P211_BENS_AUTO_ver2706, Plan CG_Dra)
04:26:45   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:26:45 Pointing updates are enabled
04:26:45 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:26:45   Start slew to CG_Dra...
04:26:47   (wait for slew to complete)
04:27:47   (slew complete)
04:27:47   Calling TargetStart user action.
04:27:47 Project Priority is: undefined

04:27:47   Updating pointing...
04:27:47   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:27:47   Focus change of -50 steps required
04:27:50   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:27:50   (using Fast readout mode)
04:27:50   (starting exposure)
04:28:11   (exposure complete)
04:28:14   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:28:16  PROJNAME=AAVSO_P211_BENS_AUTO put into fits header
04:28:16  CCD-TPWR=80 put into fits header
04:28:16 Focus postion= 3382
04:28:16   Image finished
04:28:16   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:28:17   631 image stars found
04:28:17   310 catalog stars found
04:28:18   Solved! 105 stars matched.
04:28:18   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
04:28:18   Pointing error is 1.494 arcmin @ angle 101.46
04:28:18   True focal length is 3463.4 mm.
04:28:18   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
04:28:18   True image center (J2000): 19h 07m 42.5s   52° 58' 10.67"
04:28:18   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
04:28:18   [sync] pointing model updated
04:28:18   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
04:28:18   Target is now centered.
04:28:18   (high cadence option, no web previews)
04:28:18   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
04:28:18   Switching from SR to Open filter for imaging
04:28:18   Focus change of -360 steps required
04:28:23   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:28:34   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.096 Y=608.0879
04:28:35 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:28:35 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
04:28:48   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.041 Y=608.0614
04:28:48   (guide star SNR=65.9 X=1326 Y=608)
04:28:49   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
04:28:54 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:28:54 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
04:28:54 **Autoguiding failed.
