Licensed to Arne Henden
05:38:16 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:38:16 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:38:16   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:38:16 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:38:17 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:38:17 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:38:17 User actions detected.
05:38:17 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:38:17 Dome is MaxDome
05:38:17 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:38:17 Imager is ASCOM
05:38:17 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:38:17 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20240618@053735 UTC
05:38:17 Imager readout modes:
05:38:17   0 is Fast
05:38:17   1 is Normal
05:38:17 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:38:17 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:38:17 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:38:17 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:38:17 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:38:17 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:38:17 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:38:17 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:38:17 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:38:17 ==== Starting target HR_Lyr ====
05:38:17 ACPS Observation HR_Lyr(1 of 1)
05:38:17   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan HR_Lyr)
05:38:17   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:38:17 Pointing updates are enabled
05:38:17 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:38:17   Start slew to HR_Lyr...
05:38:19   (wait for slew to complete)
05:39:45   (slew complete)
05:39:45   Calling TargetStart user action.
05:39:45 Project Priority is: undefined

05:39:45   Updating pointing...
05:39:45   Switching from R to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:39:45   Focus change of -270 steps required
05:39:49   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:39:49   (using Fast readout mode)
05:39:49   (starting exposure)
05:40:13   (exposure complete)
05:40:15   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:40:18  PROJNAME=AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO put into fits header
05:40:18  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
05:40:18 Focus postion= 3382
05:40:18   Image finished
05:40:18   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:40:19   1323 image stars found
05:40:19   428 catalog stars found
05:40:20   Solved! 132 stars matched.
05:40:20   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
05:40:20   Pointing error is 0.705 arcmin @ angle 78.54
05:40:20   True focal length is 3465.9 mm.
05:40:20   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
05:40:20   True image center (J2000): 18h 53m 28.2s   29° 13' 45.40"
05:40:20   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
05:40:20   [sync] pointing model updated
05:40:20   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
05:40:20   Target is now centered.
05:40:20   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:40:20   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
05:40:20   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
05:40:20   Focus change of -20 steps required
05:40:23   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:40:37   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1078.104 Y=728.1295
05:40:37   (guide star SNR=7.6 X=1078 Y=728)
05:40:38   (first exposure estimate 1.97 sec)
05:40:43   (guide star SNR=3.1 X=1077 Y=729)
05:40:44   (final exposure for guiding 1.9 sec)
05:40:49   (guide star SNR=2.9 X=1077 Y=728)
05:40:50 **Guider unexpectedly stopped while waiting for measurement
05:40:51   (take guider image at initial interval 1.9 sec)
05:40:57   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=75.08836 Y=829
05:40:57 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:40:58 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:41:10   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.925 Y=607.9915
05:41:11   (guide star SNR=55.7 X=1326 Y=608)
05:41:11   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
05:41:16 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:41:16 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
05:41:16 **Autoguiding failed.
