Licensed to Arne Henden
05:59:01 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:59:01 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:59:01   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:59:01 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:59:02 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:59:02 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:59:02 User actions detected.
05:59:02 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:59:02 Dome is MaxDome
05:59:02 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:59:02 Imager is ASCOM
05:59:02 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:59:02 Selecting filter SZ from previous ACP run at 20240625@055820 UTC
05:59:02 Imager readout modes:
05:59:02   0 is Fast
05:59:02   1 is Normal
05:59:02 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:59:02 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:59:02 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:59:02 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:59:02 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:59:02 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:59:02 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:59:02 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:59:02 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:59:02 ==== Starting target IX_Dra ====
05:59:02 ACPS Observation IX_Dra(1 of 1)
05:59:02   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P153_SFY_AUTO_ver2706, Plan IX_Dra)
05:59:02   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:59:02 Pointing updates are enabled

05:59:52   Switching from SZ to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:59:52   Focus change of 50 steps required
05:59:55   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:59:55   (using Fast readout mode)
05:59:55   (starting exposure)

06:00:17   Image finished
06:00:17   Plate-solve pointing image.
06:00:18   358 image stars found
06:00:18   307 catalog stars found
06:00:19   Solved! 69 stars matched.
06:00:19   Average residual is 0.39 arcsec.
06:00:19   Pointing error is 1.358 arcmin @ angle 163.18
06:00:19   True focal length is 3460.8 mm.
06:00:19   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.90 V = 0.89
06:00:19   True image center (J2000): 18h 12m 35.5s   67° 03' 27.78"
06:00:19   Imager sky position angle is 179.4 deg.
06:00:19   [sync] pointing model updated
06:00:19   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
06:00:19   Target is now centered.
06:00:19   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:00:19   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
06:00:19   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
06:00:19   Focus change of 290 steps required
06:00:23   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:00:36   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.526 Y=608.0004
06:00:37 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:00:37 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:00:50   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.02 Y=608.0683
06:00:51   (guide star SNR=59.5 X=1326 Y=608)
06:00:51   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
06:00:56 **No stars at all found in guider image
06:00:56 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
06:00:56 **Autoguiding failed.
