Licensed to Arne Henden
05:46:10 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:46:10 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:46:10   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:46:10 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:46:11 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:46:11 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:46:11 User actions detected.
05:46:11 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:46:11 Dome is MaxDome
05:46:11 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:46:11 Imager is ASCOM
05:46:11 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:46:11 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240625@054445 UTC
05:46:11 Imager readout modes:
05:46:11   0 is Fast
05:46:11   1 is Normal
05:46:11 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:46:11 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:46:11 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:46:11 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:46:11 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:46:11 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:46:11 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:46:11 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:46:11 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:46:11 ==== Starting target MV_Lyr ====
05:46:11 ACPS Observation MV_Lyr(1 of 1)
05:46:11   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P233_DKS_AUTO_ver2623, Plan MV_Lyr)
05:46:11   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:46:11 Pointing updates are enabled
05:46:11 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:46:11   Start slew to MV_Lyr...
05:46:13   (wait for slew to complete)

05:47:09   Updating pointing...
05:47:09   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:47:09   Focus change of -290 steps required
05:47:13   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:47:13   (using Fast readout mode)
05:47:13   (starting exposure)
05:47:36   (exposure complete)
05:47:38   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:47:41  PROJNAME=AAVSO_P233_DKS_AUTO put into fits header
05:47:41  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
05:47:41 Focus postion= 3570
05:47:41   Image finished
05:47:41   Plate-solve pointing image.

05:47:42   331 catalog stars found
05:47:43   Solved! 114 stars matched.
05:47:43   Average residual is 0.38 arcsec.
05:47:43   Pointing error is 3.361 arcmin @ angle 246.81
05:47:43   True focal length is 3461.4 mm.
05:47:43   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.90 V = 0.89
05:47:43   True image center (J2000): 19h 06m 59.1s   43° 59' 49.09"
05:47:43   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
05:47:43   [sync] pointing model updated
05:47:43   Re-slew to target.
05:47:43   Start slew to MV_Lyr...
05:47:46   (wait for slew to complete)
05:47:50   (slew complete)
05:47:50   Target is now centered.
05:47:50   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:47:50   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
05:47:50   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
05:47:50   Focus change of 50 steps required
05:47:52   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:48:02   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=913.0372 Y=459.1755
05:48:03 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:48:03 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:48:16   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=912.853 Y=458.9372
05:48:17   (guide star SNR=45.0 X=913 Y=459)
05:48:17   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
05:48:22 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:48:23 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
05:48:23 **Autoguiding failed.
