Licensed to Arne Henden
09:21:46 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:21:46 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:21:46   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:21:46 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:21:47 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:21:47 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:21:47 User actions detected.
09:21:47 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:21:47 Dome is MaxDome
09:21:47 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:21:47 Imager is ASCOM
09:21:47 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:21:47 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240629@092110 UTC
09:21:47 Imager readout modes:
09:21:47   0 is Fast
09:21:47   1 is Normal
09:21:47 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:21:47 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:21:47 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:21:47 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:21:47 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:21:47 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:21:47 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:21:47 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:21:47 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:21:47 ==== Starting target IX_Dra ====
09:21:47 ACPS Observation IX_Dra(1 of 1)
09:21:47   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P153_SFY_AUTO_ver2706, Plan IX_Dra)
09:21:47   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:21:47 Pointing updates are enabled
09:21:47 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0

09:22:17   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
09:22:17   Focus change of -50 steps required
09:22:20   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:22:20   (using Fast readout mode)
09:22:20   (starting exposure)
09:22:39   (exposure complete)

09:22:44  PROJNAME=AAVSO_P153_SFY_AUTO put into fits header
09:22:44  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
09:22:45 Focus postion= 3570
09:22:45   Image finished
09:22:45   Plate-solve pointing image.
09:22:46   216 image stars found
09:22:46   307 catalog stars found
09:22:47   Solved! 51 stars matched.
09:22:47   Average residual is 0.35 arcsec.
09:22:47   Pointing error is 1.995 arcmin @ angle 109.97
09:22:47   True focal length is 3458.5 mm.
09:22:47   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.90 V = 0.90
09:22:47   True image center (J2000): 18h 12m 50.7s   67° 04' 04.86"
09:22:47   Imager sky position angle is 179.4 deg.
09:22:47   [sync] pointing model updated
09:22:47   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:22:47   Target is now centered.
09:22:47   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:22:47   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:22:47   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
09:22:47   Focus change of 290 steps required
09:22:51   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:23:05   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
09:23:06 **No stars at all found in guider image
09:23:06 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:23:19   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.021 Y=608.0065
09:23:19   (guide star SNR=39.5 X=1326 Y=608)
09:23:20   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
09:23:25 **No stars at all found in guider image
09:23:25 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
09:23:25 **Autoguiding failed.
