Licensed to Arne Henden
05:32:35 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:32:35 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:32:35   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:32:35 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:32:36 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:32:36 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:32:36 User actions detected.
05:32:36 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:32:36 Dome is MaxDome
05:32:36 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:32:36 Imager is ASCOM
05:32:36 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:32:36 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240618@053058 UTC
05:32:36 Imager readout modes:
05:32:36   0 is Fast
05:32:36   1 is Normal
05:32:36 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:32:36 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:32:36 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:32:36 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:32:36 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:32:36 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:32:36 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:32:36 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:32:36 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:32:36 ==== Starting target V2493_Cyg ====
05:32:36 ACPS Observation V2493_Cyg(1 of 1)
05:32:36   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_SGUA_AUTO_ver2821, Plan V2493_Cyg)
05:32:36   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:32:36 Pointing updates are enabled
05:32:36 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:32:36   Start slew to V2493_Cyg...
05:32:38   (wait for slew to complete)
05:33:34   (slew complete)
05:33:34   Calling TargetStart user action.

05:33:34   Updating pointing...
05:33:34   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:33:34   Focus change of -50 steps required
05:33:36   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:33:36   (using Fast readout mode)
05:33:36   (starting exposure)
05:33:58   (exposure complete)
05:34:00   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:34:03  PROJNAME=AAVSO_MISC_SGUA_AUTO put into fits header
05:34:03  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
05:34:03 Focus postion= 3382
05:34:03   Image finished
05:34:03   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:34:03   477 image stars found
05:34:03   212 catalog stars found
05:34:05   Solved! 59 stars matched.
05:34:05   Average residual is 0.29 arcsec.
05:34:05   Pointing error is 1.897 arcmin @ angle 100.80
05:34:05   True focal length is 3467.6 mm.
05:34:05   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
05:34:05   True image center (J2000): 20h 58m 27.4s   43° 53' 22.05"
05:34:05   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
05:34:05   [sync] pointing model updated
05:34:05   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
05:34:05   Target is now centered.
05:34:05   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:34:05   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
05:34:05   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
05:34:05   Focus change of 320 steps required
05:34:09   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:34:22   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.857 Y=608.2123
05:34:22 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:34:23 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:34:35   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.032 Y=608.0391
05:34:36   (guide star SNR=74.4 X=1326 Y=608)
05:34:36   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
05:34:41 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:34:41 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
05:34:41 **Autoguiding failed.
