Licensed to Arne Henden
07:37:44 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:37:44 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:37:44   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:37:44 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:37:45 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:37:45 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:37:45 User actions detected.
07:37:45 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:37:45 Dome is MaxDome
07:37:45 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:37:45 Imager is ASCOM
07:37:45 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:37:45 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240625@073704 UTC
07:37:46 Imager readout modes:
07:37:46   0 is Fast
07:37:46   1 is Normal
07:37:46 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:37:46 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:37:46 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:37:46 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:37:46 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:37:46 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:37:46 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:37:46 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:37:46 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:37:46 ==== Starting target V2492_Cyg ====
07:37:46 ACPS Observation V2492_Cyg(1 of 1)
07:37:46   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_SGUA_AUTO_ver2821, Plan V2492_Cyg)
07:37:46   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:37:46 Pointing updates are enabled
07:37:46 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
07:37:46   Start slew to V2492_Cyg...
07:37:47   (wait for slew to complete)
07:38:33   (slew complete)
07:38:33   Calling TargetStart user action.

07:38:33   Updating pointing...
07:38:33   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
07:38:33   Focus change of -320 steps required
07:38:37   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:38:37   (using Fast readout mode)
07:38:37   (starting exposure)
07:39:01   (exposure complete)
07:39:03   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
07:39:05  PROJNAME=AAVSO_MISC_SGUA_AUTO put into fits header
07:39:05  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
07:39:05 Focus postion= 3570
07:39:05   Image finished
07:39:05   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:39:06   390 image stars found
07:39:06   200 catalog stars found
07:39:07   Solved! 73 stars matched.
07:39:07   Average residual is 0.37 arcsec.
07:39:07   Pointing error is 1.366 arcmin @ angle 141.26
07:39:07   True focal length is 3464.9 mm.
07:39:07   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
07:39:07   True image center (J2000): 20h 51m 31.0s   44° 04' 19.97"
07:39:07   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
07:39:07   [sync] pointing model updated
07:39:07   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
07:39:07   Target is now centered.
07:39:07   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:39:07   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
07:39:07   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
07:39:07   Focus change of -20 steps required
07:39:10   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:39:24   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=913.9385 Y=459.2321
07:39:25 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:39:25 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:39:38   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=913.1249 Y=459.0425
07:39:39   (guide star SNR=31.7 X=913 Y=459)
07:39:39   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
07:39:44 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:39:44 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
07:39:44 **Autoguiding failed.
