Licensed to Arne Henden
05:04:16 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:04:16 Custom image file path/names are in use

05:04:16 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:04:17 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:04:17 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:04:17 User actions detected.
05:04:17 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:04:17 Dome is MaxDome
05:04:17 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:04:17 Imager is ASCOM
05:04:17 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:04:17 Selecting filter SZ from previous ACP run at 20240618@050337 UTC
05:04:17 Imager readout modes:
05:04:17   0 is Fast
05:04:17   1 is Normal
05:04:17 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:04:17 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:04:17 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:04:17 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:04:17 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:04:17 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:04:17 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:04:17 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:04:17 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:04:17 ==== Starting target X_Ser ====
05:04:17 ACPS Observation X_Ser(1 of 1)
05:04:17   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_MRV_AUTO_ver3136, Plan X_Ser)
05:04:17   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:04:17 Pointing updates are enabled
05:04:17 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:04:17   Start slew to X_Ser...
05:04:19   (wait for slew to complete)
05:05:09   (slew complete)
05:05:09   Calling TargetStart user action.

05:05:09   Updating pointing...
05:05:09   Switching from SZ to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:05:09   Focus change of 50 steps required
05:05:12   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:05:12   (using Fast readout mode)
05:05:12   (starting exposure)
05:05:30   (exposure complete)
05:05:32   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:05:34  PROJNAME=AAVSO_MISC_MRV_AUTO put into fits header
05:05:35  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
05:05:35 Focus postion= 3382
05:05:35   Image finished
05:05:35   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:05:36   353 image stars found
05:05:36   193 catalog stars found
05:05:37   Solved! 52 stars matched.
05:05:37   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.

05:05:37   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
05:05:37   [sync] pointing model updated
05:05:37   Re-slew to target.
05:05:37   Start slew to X_Ser...
05:05:38   (wait for slew to complete)
05:05:43   (slew complete)
05:05:43   Target is now centered.
05:05:43   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:05:43   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
05:05:43   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
05:05:43   Focus change of 320 steps required
05:05:47   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:06:00   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=202.5392 Y=410.0754
05:06:00   (guide star SNR=9.8 X=202 Y=410)
05:06:01   (first exposure estimate 1.54 sec)
05:06:05   (guide star SNR=5.1 X=198 Y=408)
05:06:05   (final exposure for guiding 1 sec)
05:06:10   (guide star SNR=3.4 X=199 Y=407)
05:06:23 **Guider waited for 10 sec and never got a measurement
05:06:24   (take guider image at initial interval 1 sec)
05:06:28   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
05:06:29 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:06:29 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:06:42   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=912.8384 Y=459.0218
05:06:42   (guide star SNR=24.0 X=913 Y=459)
05:06:43   (first exposure estimate 1.25 sec)
05:06:48 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:06:48 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
05:06:48 **Autoguiding failed.
