Licensed to Arne Henden
04:08:57 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:08:57 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:08:57   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:08:57 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:08:58 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:08:58 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:08:58 User actions detected.
04:08:58 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:08:58 Dome is MaxDome
04:08:58 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:08:58 Imager is ASCOM
04:08:58 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:08:58 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240618@040724 UTC
04:08:58 Imager readout modes:
04:08:58   0 is Fast
04:08:58   1 is Normal
04:08:58 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:08:58 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:08:58 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:08:58 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:08:58 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:08:58 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:08:58 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:08:58 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:08:58 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:08:58 ==== Starting target PV_Cep ====
04:08:58 ACPS Observation PV_Cep(1 of 1)
04:08:58   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_SGUA_AUTO_ver2821, Plan PV_Cep)
04:08:58   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:08:58 Pointing updates are enabled
04:08:58 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:08:58   Start slew to PV_Cep...
04:09:00   (wait for slew to complete)
04:10:16   (slew complete)
04:10:16   Calling TargetStart user action.
04:10:16 Project Priority is: undefined

04:10:16   Updating pointing...
04:10:16   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:10:16   Focus change of -290 steps required
04:10:20   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:10:20   (using Fast readout mode)
04:10:20   (starting exposure)
04:10:45   (exposure complete)
04:10:47   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:10:49  PROJNAME=AAVSO_MISC_SGUA_AUTO put into fits header
04:10:49  CCD-TPWR=89 put into fits header
04:10:50 Focus postion= 3382
04:10:50   Image finished
04:10:50   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:10:51   508 image stars found
04:10:51   384 catalog stars found
04:10:52   Solved! 146 stars matched.
04:10:52   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
04:10:52   Pointing error is 1.745 arcmin @ angle 97.90
04:10:52   True focal length is 3462.4 mm.
04:10:52   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
04:10:52   True image center (J2000): 20h 46m 12.4s   67° 57' 24.24"
04:10:52   Imager sky position angle is 179.2 deg.
04:10:52   [sync] pointing model updated
04:10:52   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
04:10:52   Target is now centered.
04:10:52   (high cadence option, no web previews)
04:10:52   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
04:10:52   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
04:10:52   Focus change of 290 steps required
04:10:56   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:11:10   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.999 Y=607.9201
04:11:10 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:11:11 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
04:11:23   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=913.0034 Y=458.9139
04:11:24   (guide star SNR=52.0 X=913 Y=459)
04:11:24   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
04:11:29 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:11:29 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
04:11:29 **Autoguiding failed.
