Licensed to Arne Henden
03:27:52 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:27:52 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:27:52   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:27:52 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:27:53 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:27:53 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:27:53 User actions detected.
03:27:53 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:27:53 Dome is MaxDome
03:27:54 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:27:54 Imager is ASCOM
03:27:54 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:27:54 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240618@032048 UTC
03:27:54 Imager readout modes:
03:27:54   0 is Fast
03:27:54   1 is Normal
03:27:54 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:27:54 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:27:54 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:27:54 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:27:54 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:27:54 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:27:54 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:27:54 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:27:54 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:27:54 ==== Starting target KN_Lyn ====
03:27:54 ACPS Observation KN_Lyn(1 of 1)
03:27:54   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver3479, Plan KN_Lyn)
03:27:54   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:27:54 Pointing updates are enabled
03:27:54 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:27:54   Start slew to KN_Lyn...
03:27:55   (wait for slew to complete)
03:28:56   (slew complete)
03:28:56   Calling TargetStart user action.
03:28:56 Project Priority is: undefined

03:28:56   Updating pointing...
03:28:56   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:28:56   (using Fast readout mode)
03:28:56   (starting exposure)
03:29:12   (exposure complete)
03:29:14   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:29:16  PROJNAME=AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO put into fits header
03:29:16  CCD-TPWR=94 put into fits header
03:29:16 Focus postion= 3382
03:29:16   Image finished
03:29:16   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:29:17   219 image stars found
03:29:17   252 catalog stars found
03:29:18   Solved! 72 stars matched.
03:29:18   Average residual is 0.34 arcsec.
03:29:18   Pointing error is 4.177 arcmin @ angle 87.15
03:29:18   True focal length is 3460.6 mm.
03:29:18   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.90 V = 0.89
03:29:18   True image center (J2000): 08h 17m 01.3s   47° 50' 54.79"
03:29:18   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
03:29:18   [sync] pointing model updated
03:29:18   Re-slew to target.
03:29:18   Start slew to KN_Lyn...
03:29:20   (wait for slew to complete)
03:29:30   (slew complete)
03:29:30   Target is now centered.
03:29:30   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:29:30   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:29:30   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
03:29:30   Focus change of 50 steps required
03:29:33   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:29:42   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.772 Y=607.9969
03:29:43   (guide star SNR=20.4 X=1326 Y=608)
03:29:43   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
03:29:48 **No stars at all found in guider image
03:29:48 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
03:29:48 **Autoguiding failed.
