Licensed to Arne Henden
09:16:12 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:16:12 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:16:12   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:16:12 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:16:13 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:16:13 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:16:13 User actions detected.
09:16:13 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:16:13 Dome is MaxDome
09:16:13 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:16:13 Imager is ASCOM
09:16:13 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:16:13 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240625@090732 UTC
09:16:13 Imager readout modes:
09:16:13   0 is Fast
09:16:13   1 is Normal
09:16:13 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:16:13 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:16:13 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:16:13 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:16:13 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:16:13 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:16:13 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:16:13 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:16:13 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:16:13 ==== Starting target KU_Cyg ====
09:16:13 ACPS Observation KU_Cyg(1 of 1)
09:16:13   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan KU_Cyg)
09:16:13   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:16:13 Pointing updates are enabled
09:16:13 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
09:16:13   Start slew to KU_Cyg...
09:16:15   (wait for slew to complete)

09:16:57   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:16:57   (using Fast readout mode)
09:16:57   (starting exposure)
09:17:10   (exposure complete)
09:17:13   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
09:17:15  PROJNAME=AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO put into fits header
09:17:15  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
09:17:15 Focus postion= 3570
09:17:15   Image finished
09:17:15   Plate-solve pointing image.
09:17:16   1484 image stars found
09:17:16   407 catalog stars found
09:17:17   Solved! 151 stars matched.
09:17:17   Average residual is 0.34 arcsec.
09:17:17   Pointing error is 2.274 arcmin @ angle 255.51
09:17:17   True focal length is 3459.7 mm.
09:17:17   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.90 V = 0.89
09:17:17   True image center (J2000): 20h 12m 32.1s   47° 23' 07.22"
09:17:17   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
09:17:17   [sync] pointing model updated
09:17:17   Re-slew to target.
09:17:17   Start slew to KU_Cyg...
09:17:20   (wait for slew to complete)
09:17:30   (slew complete)
09:17:30   Target is now centered.
09:17:30   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:17:30   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
09:17:30   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
09:17:30   Focus change of -20 steps required
09:17:32   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:17:46   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.255 Y=608.1906
09:17:47 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:17:47 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:18:00   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.131 Y=608.0995
09:18:01   (guide star SNR=27.3 X=1326 Y=608)
09:18:01   (first exposure estimate 1.1 sec)
09:18:06 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:18:06 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
09:18:06 **Autoguiding failed.
