This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
06:29:28 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:29:28 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:29:28   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:29:28 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:29:29 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:29:29 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:29:29 User actions detected.
06:29:29 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:29:29 Dome is MaxDome
06:29:29 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:29:29 Imager is ASCOM
06:29:29 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:29:29 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240625@062752 UTC
06:29:29 Imager readout modes:
06:29:29   0 is Fast
06:29:29   1 is Normal
06:29:29 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:29:29 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:29:29 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:29:29 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:29:29 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:29:29 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:29:29 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:29:29 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:29:29 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:29:29 ==== Starting target X_Ser ====
06:29:29 ACPS Observation X_Ser(1 of 1)
06:29:29   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_MRV_AUTO_ver3136, Plan X_Ser)
06:29:29   (turning on sidereal tracking)
06:29:29 Pointing updates are enabled
06:29:29 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
06:29:29   Start slew to X_Ser...
06:29:31   (wait for slew to complete)
06:30:12   (slew complete)
06:30:12   Calling TargetStart user action.
06:30:12 Project Priority is: undefined
06:30:12     [flip check:  Tn=600s HAc=4704s GW=T HAz=5304s DWz=T WF=no]
06:30:12   Updating pointing...
06:30:12   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
06:30:12   Focus change of -50 steps required
06:30:15   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
06:30:15   (using Fast readout mode)
06:30:15   (starting exposure)
06:30:34   (exposure complete)
06:30:36   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
06:30:38  PROJNAME=AAVSO_MISC_MRV_AUTO put into fits header
06:30:39  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
06:30:39 Focus postion= 3570
06:30:39   Image finished
06:30:39   Plate-solve pointing image.
06:30:40   336 image stars found
06:30:40   193 catalog stars found
06:30:41   Solved! 53 stars matched.
06:30:41   Average residual is 0.38 arcsec.
06:30:41   Pointing error is 1.238 arcmin @ angle 154.33
06:30:41   True focal length is 3462.5 mm.
06:30:41   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
06:30:41   True image center (J2000): 16h 19m 19.8s   -02° 30' 36.58"
06:30:41   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
06:30:41   [sync] pointing model updated
06:30:41   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
06:30:41   Target is now centered.
06:30:41   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:30:41   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
06:30:41   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
06:30:41   Focus change of 320 steps required
06:30:44   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:30:57   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.926 Y=607.9623
06:30:58 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:30:58 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:31:11   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.014 Y=607.9564
06:31:12   (guide star SNR=85.6 X=1326 Y=608)
06:31:12   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
06:31:17 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:31:17 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
06:31:17 **Autoguiding failed.
