Licensed to Arne Henden
05:59:25 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:59:25 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:59:25   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:59:25 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:59:26 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:59:26 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:59:26 User actions detected.
05:59:26 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:59:26 Dome is MaxDome
05:59:26 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:59:26 Imager is ASCOM
05:59:26 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:59:26 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240618@055859 UTC
05:59:26 Imager readout modes:
05:59:26   0 is Fast
05:59:26   1 is Normal
05:59:26 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:59:26 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:59:26 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:59:26 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:59:26 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:59:26 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:59:26 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:59:26 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:59:26 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:59:26 ==== Starting target MN84 ====
05:59:26 ACPS Observation MN84(1 of 1)
05:59:26   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan MN84)
05:59:26   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:59:26 Pointing updates are enabled
05:59:26 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:59:26   Start slew to MN84...
05:59:28   (wait for slew to complete)
05:59:53   (slew complete)
05:59:53   Calling TargetStart user action.
05:59:53 Project Priority is: undefined

05:59:53   Updating pointing...
05:59:53   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:59:53   Focus change of -320 steps required
05:59:57   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:59:57   (using Fast readout mode)
05:59:58   (starting exposure)
06:00:23   (exposure complete)
06:00:26   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
06:00:28  PROJNAME=AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO put into fits header
06:00:28  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
06:00:28 Focus postion= 3382
06:00:28   Image finished
06:00:28   Plate-solve pointing image.
06:00:29   2654 image stars found
06:00:29   221 catalog stars found
06:00:30   Solved! 95 stars matched.
06:00:30   Average residual is 0.2 arcsec.
06:00:30   Pointing error is 0.407 arcmin @ angle 52.53
06:00:30   True focal length is 3467.3 mm.
06:00:30   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
06:00:30   True image center (J2000): 18h 41m 30.9s   -05° 15' 25.85"
06:00:30   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
06:00:30   [sync] pointing model updated
06:00:30   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
06:00:30   Target is now centered.
06:00:30   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:00:30   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
06:00:30   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
06:00:30   Focus change of 290 steps required
06:00:34   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:00:48   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.627 Y=608.0001
06:00:49 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:00:49 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:01:02   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.763 Y=608.0026
06:01:02   (guide star SNR=65.4 X=1326 Y=608)
06:01:02   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
06:01:07 **No stars at all found in guider image
06:01:07 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
06:01:07 **Autoguiding failed.
