Licensed to Arne Henden
06:18:28 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:18:28 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:18:28   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:18:28 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:18:29 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:18:29 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:18:29 User actions detected.
06:18:29 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:18:29 Dome is MaxDome
06:18:29 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:18:29 Imager is ASCOM
06:18:29 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:18:29 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240625@061639 UTC
06:18:29 Imager readout modes:
06:18:29   0 is Fast
06:18:29   1 is Normal
06:18:29 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:18:29 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:18:29 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:18:29 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:18:29 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:18:29 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:18:29 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:18:29 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:18:29 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:18:29 ==== Starting target CG_Dra ====
06:18:29 ACPS Observation CG_Dra(1 of 1)
06:18:29   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P211_BENS_AUTO_ver2706, Plan CG_Dra)
06:18:29   (turning on sidereal tracking)
06:18:29 Pointing updates are enabled

06:19:27   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
06:19:27   Focus change of -50 steps required
06:19:30   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
06:19:30   (using Fast readout mode)
06:19:30   (starting exposure)
06:19:49   (exposure complete)
06:19:52   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
06:19:54  PROJNAME=AAVSO_P211_BENS_AUTO put into fits header
06:19:54  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
06:19:55 Focus postion= 3570
06:19:55   Image finished
06:19:55   Plate-solve pointing image.

06:19:55   310 catalog stars found
06:19:57   Solved! 102 stars matched.
06:19:57   Average residual is 0.37 arcsec.
06:19:57   Pointing error is 2.741 arcmin @ angle 243.51
06:19:57   True focal length is 3459.7 mm.
06:19:57   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.90 V = 0.90

06:19:57   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
06:19:57   [sync] pointing model updated
06:19:57   Re-slew to target.
06:19:57   Start slew to CG_Dra...
06:19:58   (wait for slew to complete)
06:20:08   (slew complete)
06:20:08   Target is now centered.
06:20:08   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:20:08   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
06:20:08   Switching from SR to Open filter for imaging
06:20:08   Focus change of -360 steps required
06:20:12   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:20:23   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=452.2245 Y=347.442
06:20:24 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:20:24 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:20:37   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=913.0082 Y=459.0463
06:20:38   (guide star SNR=33.8 X=913 Y=459)
06:20:38   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
06:20:43 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:20:43 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
06:20:43 **Autoguiding failed.
