Licensed to Arne Henden
05:27:19 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:27:19 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:27:19   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:27:19 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:27:20 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:27:20 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:27:20 User actions detected.
05:27:20 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:27:20 Dome is MaxDome
05:27:20 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:27:20 Imager is ASCOM
05:27:20 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:27:20 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240618@052552 UTC
05:27:20 Imager readout modes:
05:27:20   0 is Fast
05:27:20   1 is Normal
05:27:20 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:27:20 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:27:20 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:27:20 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:27:20 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:27:20 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:27:20 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:27:20 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:27:20 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:27:20 ==== Starting target NSV_11749 ====
05:27:20 ACPS Observation NSV_11749(1 of 1)
05:27:20   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan NSV_11749)
05:27:20   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:27:20 Pointing updates are enabled
05:27:20 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:27:20   Start slew to NSV_11749...
05:27:22   (wait for slew to complete)
05:28:27   (slew complete)
05:28:27   Calling TargetStart user action.

05:28:27   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:28:27   (using Fast readout mode)
05:28:27   (starting exposure)
05:28:43   (exposure complete)
05:28:45   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:28:47  PROJNAME=AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO put into fits header

05:28:47 Focus postion= 3382
05:28:47   Image finished
05:28:47   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:28:48   1622 image stars found
05:28:48   357 catalog stars found
05:28:50   Solved! 104 stars matched.
05:28:50   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
05:28:50   Pointing error is 0.891 arcmin @ angle 63.71
05:28:50   True focal length is 3466.8 mm.
05:28:50   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
05:28:50   True image center (J2000): 19h 07m 45.6s   00° 03' 14.57"
05:28:50   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
05:28:50   [sync] pointing model updated
05:28:50   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
05:28:50   Target is now centered.
05:28:50   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:28:50   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
05:28:50   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
05:28:50   Focus change of 320 steps required
05:28:53   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:29:06   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.028 Y=608.0965
05:29:07 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:29:07 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:29:20   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.919 Y=608.003
05:29:20   (guide star SNR=39.9 X=1326 Y=608)
05:29:21   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
05:29:26 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:29:26 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
05:29:26 **Autoguiding failed.
