Licensed to Arne Henden
06:46:33 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:46:33 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:46:33   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:46:33 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:46:34 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:46:34 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:46:34 User actions detected.
06:46:34 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:46:34 Dome is MaxDome
06:46:34 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:46:34 Imager is ASCOM
06:46:34 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:46:34 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240618@064210 UTC
06:46:34 Imager readout modes:
06:46:34   0 is Fast
06:46:34   1 is Normal
06:46:34 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:46:34 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:46:34 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:46:34 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:46:34 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:46:34 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:46:34 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:46:34 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:46:34 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:46:34 ==== Starting target V1412_Aql ====
06:46:34 ACPS Observation V1412_Aql(1 of 1)
06:46:34   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan V1412_Aql)
06:46:34   (turning on sidereal tracking)
06:46:35 Pointing updates are enabled
06:46:35 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
06:46:35   Start slew to V1412_Aql...
06:46:36   (wait for slew to complete)
06:47:07   (slew complete)
06:47:07   Calling TargetStart user action.

06:47:07   Updating pointing...
06:47:07   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
06:47:07   Focus change of -50 steps required
06:47:10   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
06:47:10   (using Fast readout mode)
06:47:10   (starting exposure)
06:47:32   (exposure complete)
06:47:34   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
06:47:36  PROJNAME=AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO put into fits header
06:47:36  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
06:47:37 Focus postion= 3382
06:47:37   Image finished
06:47:37   Plate-solve pointing image.
06:47:37   1440 image stars found
06:47:38   288 catalog stars found
06:47:39   Solved! 122 stars matched.
06:47:39   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
06:47:39   Pointing error is 0.575 arcmin @ angle 67.78
06:47:39   True focal length is 3466.3 mm.
06:47:39   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
06:47:39   True image center (J2000): 20h 13m 57.8s   06° 42' 57.95"
06:47:39   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
06:47:39   [sync] pointing model updated
06:47:39   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
06:47:39   Target is now centered.
06:47:39   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:47:39   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
06:47:39   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
06:47:39   Focus change of 290 steps required
06:47:43   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:47:57   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.017 Y=608.0024
06:47:57 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:47:57 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:48:10   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.987 Y=608.0517
06:48:11   (guide star SNR=64.7 X=1326 Y=608)
06:48:11   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
06:48:16 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:48:16 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
06:48:16 **Autoguiding failed.
