Licensed to Arne Henden
08:31:26 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:31:26 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:31:26   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:31:26 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:31:27 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:31:27 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:31:27 User actions detected.
08:31:27 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:31:27 Dome is MaxDome
08:31:27 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:31:27 Imager is ASCOM
08:31:27 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:31:27 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240625@082957 UTC
08:31:27 Imager readout modes:
08:31:27   0 is Fast
08:31:27   1 is Normal
08:31:27 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:31:27 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:31:27 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:31:27 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:31:27 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:31:27 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:31:27 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:31:27 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:31:27 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:31:27 ==== Starting target HR_Lyr ====
08:31:27 ACPS Observation HR_Lyr(1 of 1)
08:31:27   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan HR_Lyr)
08:31:27   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:31:27 Pointing updates are enabled
08:31:27 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
08:31:27   Start slew to HR_Lyr...
08:31:29   (wait for slew to complete)
08:32:51   (slew complete)
08:32:51   Calling TargetStart user action.
08:32:51 Project Priority is: undefined
08:32:51     [flip check:  Tn=540s HAc=2855s GW=T HAz=3395s DWz=T WF=no]
08:32:51   Updating pointing...
08:32:51   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:32:51   Focus change of -320 steps required
08:32:56   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:32:56   (using Fast readout mode)
08:32:56   (starting exposure)
08:33:19   (exposure complete)
08:33:22   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
08:33:24  PROJNAME=AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO put into fits header
08:33:24  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
08:33:24 Focus postion= 3570
08:33:24   Image finished
08:33:24   Plate-solve pointing image.
08:33:25   905 image stars found
08:33:25   428 catalog stars found
08:33:26   Solved! 127 stars matched.
08:33:26   Average residual is 0.37 arcsec.
08:33:26   Pointing error is 1.224 arcmin @ angle 116.16
08:33:26   True focal length is 3463.5 mm.
08:33:26   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
08:33:26   True image center (J2000): 18h 53m 30.0s   29° 13' 04.63"
08:33:26   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
08:33:26   [sync] pointing model updated
08:33:26   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
08:33:26   Target is now centered.
08:33:26   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:33:26   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
08:33:26   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
08:33:26   Focus change of -20 steps required
08:33:28   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:33:42   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1108.124 Y=662.421
08:33:43   (guide star SNR=8.5 X=1109 Y=663)
08:33:43   (first exposure estimate 1.76 sec)
08:33:48   (guide star SNR=3.3 X=1107 Y=661)
08:33:48   (final exposure for guiding 1.59 sec)
08:33:53   (guide star SNR=3.1 X=1107 Y=662)
08:34:05 **Guider waited for 10 sec and never got a measurement
08:34:07   (take guider image at initial interval 1.59 sec)
08:34:11   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
08:34:11 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:34:12 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:34:25   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.046 Y=608.0464
08:34:25   (guide star SNR=34.4 X=1326 Y=608)
08:34:26   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
08:34:31 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:34:31 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:34:31 **Autoguiding failed.
