Licensed to Arne Henden
07:45:34 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:45:34 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:45:34   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:45:34 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:45:35 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:45:35 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:45:35 User actions detected.
07:45:35 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:45:35 Dome is MaxDome
07:45:35 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:45:35 Imager is ASCOM
07:45:35 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:45:35 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240618@074421 UTC
07:45:35 Imager readout modes:
07:45:35   0 is Fast
07:45:35   1 is Normal
07:45:35 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:45:35 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:45:35 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:45:35 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:45:35 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:45:36 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:45:36 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:45:36 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:45:36 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:45:36 ==== Starting target V630_Cas ====
07:45:36 ACPS Observation V630_Cas(1 of 1)
07:45:36   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan V630_Cas)
07:45:36   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:45:36 Pointing updates are enabled
07:45:36 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
07:45:36   Start slew to V630_Cas...
07:45:37   (wait for slew to complete)
07:47:15   (slew complete)
07:47:15   Calling TargetStart user action.

07:47:15   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:47:15   (using Fast readout mode)
07:47:15   (starting exposure)
07:47:30   (exposure complete)

07:47:35   Image finished
07:47:35   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:47:35   1122 image stars found
07:47:36   447 catalog stars found
07:47:37   Solved! 145 stars matched.
07:47:37   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
07:47:37   Pointing error is 0.946 arcmin @ angle 65.74
07:47:37   True focal length is 3465.9 mm.
07:47:37   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
07:47:37   True image center (J2000): 23h 48m 57.5s   51° 28' 02.30"
07:47:37   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
07:47:37   [sync] pointing model updated
07:47:37   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
07:47:37   Target is now centered.
07:47:37   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:47:37   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
07:47:37   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
07:47:37   Focus change of 290 steps required
07:47:41   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:47:55   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=451.7333 Y=347.1294
07:47:55 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:47:56 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:48:08   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.041 Y=608.1453
07:48:09   (guide star SNR=28.9 X=1326 Y=608)
07:48:09   (first exposure estimate 1.04 sec)
07:48:14 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:48:14 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
07:48:14 **Autoguiding failed.
