Licensed to Arne Henden
08:49:14 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:49:14 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:49:14   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:49:14 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:49:16 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:49:16 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:49:16 User actions detected.
08:49:16 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:49:16 Dome is MaxDome
08:49:16 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:49:16 Imager is ASCOM
08:49:16 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:49:16 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240618@084837 UTC
08:49:16 Imager readout modes:
08:49:16   0 is Fast
08:49:16   1 is Normal
08:49:16 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:49:16 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:49:16 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:49:16 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:49:16 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:49:16 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:49:16 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:49:16 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:49:16 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:49:16 ==== Starting target V630_Cas ====
08:49:16 ACPS Observation V630_Cas(1 of 1)
08:49:16   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan V630_Cas)
08:49:16   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:49:16 Pointing updates are enabled
08:49:16 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
08:49:16   Start slew to V630_Cas...
08:49:18   (wait for slew to complete)
08:50:34   (slew complete)
08:50:34   Calling TargetStart user action.

08:50:34   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:50:34   Focus change of 20 steps required
08:50:36   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:50:36   (using Fast readout mode)
08:50:36   (starting exposure)
08:50:53   (exposure complete)
08:50:56   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
08:50:58  PROJNAME=AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO put into fits header
08:50:58  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
08:50:58 Focus postion= 3382
08:50:58   Image finished
08:50:58   Plate-solve pointing image.
08:50:59   1239 image stars found
08:50:59   447 catalog stars found
08:51:00   Solved! 165 stars matched.
08:51:00   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
08:51:00   Pointing error is 0.144 arcmin @ angle 18.90
08:51:00   True focal length is 3466.7 mm.
08:51:00   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
08:51:00   True image center (J2000): 23h 48m 52.3s   51° 27' 47.16"
08:51:00   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
08:51:00   [sync] pointing model updated
08:51:00   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
08:51:00   Target is now centered.
08:51:00   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:51:00   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:51:00   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
08:51:00   Focus change of 290 steps required
08:51:03   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:51:17   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.538 Y=607.907
08:51:18 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:51:18 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:51:31   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.394 Y=608.2423
08:51:31   (guide star SNR=58.0 X=1326 Y=608)
08:51:32   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
08:51:36 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:51:36 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:51:36 **Autoguiding failed.
