Licensed to Arne Henden
05:34:48 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:34:48 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:34:48   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:34:48 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:34:49 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:34:49 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:34:49 User actions detected.
05:34:49 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:34:49 Dome is MaxDome
05:34:49 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:34:49 Imager is ASCOM
05:34:49 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:34:49 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240618@053409 UTC
05:34:49 Imager readout modes:
05:34:49   0 is Fast
05:34:49   1 is Normal
05:34:49 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:34:49 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:34:49 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:34:49 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:34:49 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:34:49 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:34:49 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:34:49 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:34:49 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:34:49 ==== Starting target IR_Com ====
05:34:49 ACPS Observation IR_Com(1 of 1)
05:34:49   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan IR_Com)
05:34:49   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:34:49 Pointing updates are enabled

05:36:43   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:36:43   Focus change of -320 steps required
05:36:47   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:36:47   (using Fast readout mode)
05:36:47   (starting exposure)
05:37:13   (exposure complete)
05:37:15   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:37:18  PROJNAME=AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO put into fits header
05:37:18  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
05:37:18 Focus postion= 3382
05:37:18   Image finished
05:37:18   Plate-solve pointing image.

05:37:18   151 catalog stars found
05:37:20   Solved! 38 stars matched.
05:37:20   Average residual is 0.5 arcsec.
05:37:20   Pointing error is 4.812 arcmin @ angle 80.44
05:37:20   True focal length is 3466.4 mm.
05:37:20   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

05:37:20   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
05:37:20   [sync] pointing model updated
05:37:20   Re-slew to target.
05:37:20   Start slew to IR_Com...
05:37:21   (wait for slew to complete)
05:37:31   (slew complete)
05:37:31   Target is now centered.
05:37:31   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:37:31   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
05:37:31   Switching from SR to R filter for imaging
05:37:31   Focus change of 270 steps required
05:37:35   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:37:50   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=50.9557 Y=65.0229
05:37:50 **No stars at all found in guider image
05:37:51 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:38:03   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.023 Y=608.0055
05:38:04   (guide star SNR=42.1 X=1326 Y=608)
05:38:04   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
05:38:09 **No stars at all found in guider image
05:38:09 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
05:38:09 **Autoguiding failed.
