Licensed to Arne Henden
08:20:36 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:20:36 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:20:36   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:20:36 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:20:37 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:20:37 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:20:37 User actions detected.
08:20:37 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:20:37 Dome is MaxDome
08:20:37 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:20:37 Imager is ASCOM
08:20:37 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:20:37 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240625@081955 UTC
08:20:37 Imager readout modes:
08:20:37   0 is Fast
08:20:37   1 is Normal
08:20:37 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:20:37 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:20:37 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:20:37 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:20:37 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:20:37 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:20:37 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:20:37 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:20:37 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:20:37 ==== Starting target PV_Cep ====
08:20:37 ACPS Observation PV_Cep(1 of 1)
08:20:37   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan PV_Cep)
08:20:37   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:20:37 Pointing updates are enabled
08:20:37 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
08:20:37   (wait for slew to complete)

08:21:18   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:21:18   Focus change of 20 steps required
08:21:20   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:21:20   (using Fast readout mode)
08:21:20   (starting exposure)
08:21:35   (exposure complete)
08:21:37   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
08:21:39  PROJNAME=AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO put into fits header
08:21:39  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
08:21:40 Focus postion= 3570
08:21:40   Image finished
08:21:40   Plate-solve pointing image.
08:21:40   397 image stars found
08:21:40   384 catalog stars found
08:21:41   Solved! 127 stars matched.
08:21:41   Average residual is 0.37 arcsec.
08:21:41   Pointing error is 1.587 arcmin @ angle 246.53
08:21:41   True focal length is 3460.7 mm.
08:21:41   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.90 V = 0.89
08:21:41   True image center (J2000): 20h 45m 38.4s   67° 57' 00.73"
08:21:41   Imager sky position angle is 179.2 deg.
08:21:41   [sync] pointing model updated
08:21:41   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
08:21:41   Target is now centered.
08:21:41   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:21:41   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:21:41   Switching from SR to SU filter for imaging
08:21:41   No focus change required
08:21:41   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:21:51   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1161.516 Y=865.2687
08:21:52 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:21:52 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:22:05   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.103 Y=608.0469
08:22:06   (guide star SNR=27.3 X=1326 Y=608)
08:22:06   (first exposure estimate 1.1 sec)
08:22:11 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:22:11 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:22:11 **Autoguiding failed.
