Licensed to Arne Henden
10:06:09 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:06:09 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:06:09   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:06:09 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:06:10 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:06:10 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:06:10 User actions detected.
10:06:10 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:06:10 Dome is MaxDome
10:06:10 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:06:10 Imager is ASCOM
10:06:10 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:06:10 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240625@100529 UTC
10:06:10 Imager readout modes:
10:06:10   0 is Fast
10:06:10   1 is Normal
10:06:10 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:06:10 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:06:10 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:06:10 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:06:10 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:06:10 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:06:10 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:06:10 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:06:10 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:06:10 ==== Starting target B0133+47 ====
10:06:10 ACPS Observation B0133+47(1 of 1)
10:06:10   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan B0133+47)
10:06:10   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:06:10 Pointing updates are enabled
10:06:10 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:06:10   Start slew to B0133+47...
10:06:12   (wait for slew to complete)
10:07:42   (slew complete)
10:07:42   Calling TargetStart user action.

10:07:42   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:07:42   Focus change of -320 steps required
10:07:46   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:07:46   (using Fast readout mode)
10:07:46   (starting exposure)
10:08:10   (exposure complete)
10:08:12   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:08:14  PROJNAME=AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO put into fits header
10:08:14  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
10:08:15 Focus postion= 3570
10:08:15   Image finished
10:08:15   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:08:15   680 image stars found
10:08:16   390 catalog stars found
10:08:17   Solved! 104 stars matched.
10:08:17   Average residual is 0.36 arcsec.
10:08:17   Pointing error is 1.784 arcmin @ angle 254.87
10:08:17   True focal length is 3465.2 mm.
10:08:17   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
10:08:17   True image center (J2000): 01h 36m 48.3s   47° 51' 01.14"
10:08:17   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
10:08:17   [sync] pointing model updated
10:08:17   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:08:17   Target is now centered.
10:08:17   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:08:17   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
10:08:17   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
10:08:17   Focus change of 290 steps required
10:08:21   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:08:35   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1343.218 Y=369.9996
10:08:35 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:08:36 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:08:48   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.946 Y=608.0331
10:08:49   (guide star SNR=22.2 X=1326 Y=608)
10:08:49   (first exposure estimate 1.35 sec)
10:08:54 **No stars at all found in guider image
10:08:54 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
10:08:54 **Autoguiding failed.
