Licensed to Arne Henden
08:12:53 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:12:53 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:12:53   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:12:53 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:12:54 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:12:54 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:12:54 User actions detected.
08:12:54 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:12:54 Dome is MaxDome
08:12:54 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:12:54 Imager is ASCOM
08:12:54 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:12:54 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240625@081212 UTC
08:12:54 Imager readout modes:
08:12:54   0 is Fast
08:12:54   1 is Normal
08:12:54 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:12:54 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:12:54 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:12:54 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:12:54 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:12:54 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:12:54 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:12:54 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:12:54 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

08:14:05   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:14:05   Focus change of -290 steps required
08:14:08   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:14:08   (using Fast readout mode)

08:14:36   1406 image stars found
08:14:36   357 catalog stars found
08:14:38   Solved! 106 stars matched.
08:14:38   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
08:14:38   Pointing error is 1.246 arcmin @ angle 120.80
08:14:38   True focal length is 3463.6 mm.
08:14:38   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
08:14:38   True image center (J2000): 19h 16m 40.5s   30° 10' 25.92"
08:14:38   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
08:14:38   [sync] pointing model updated
08:14:38   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
08:14:38   Target is now centered.
08:14:38   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:14:38   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
08:14:38   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
08:14:38   Focus change of 320 steps required
08:14:42   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:14:55   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=913.5775 Y=459.609
08:14:55 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:14:56 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:15:09   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=912.9691 Y=459.0174
08:15:09   (guide star SNR=22.2 X=913 Y=459)
08:15:10   (first exposure estimate 1.35 sec)
08:15:15 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:15:15 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:15:15 **Autoguiding failed.
