Licensed to Arne Henden
09:19:44 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:19:44 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:19:44   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:19:44 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:19:45 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:19:45 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:19:45 User actions detected.
09:19:45 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:19:45 Dome is MaxDome
09:19:45 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:19:46 Imager is ASCOM
09:19:46 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:19:46 Selecting filter SZ from previous ACP run at 20240629@091905 UTC
09:19:46 Imager readout modes:
09:19:46   0 is Fast
09:19:46   1 is Normal
09:19:46 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:19:46 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:19:46 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:19:46 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:19:46 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:19:46 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:19:46 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:19:46 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:19:46 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:19:46 ==== Starting target MV_Lyr ====
09:19:46 ACPS Observation MV_Lyr(1 of 1)
09:19:46   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P233_DKS_AUTO_ver2623, Plan MV_Lyr)
09:19:46   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:19:46 Pointing updates are enabled
09:19:46 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
09:19:46   Start slew to MV_Lyr...
09:19:47   (wait for slew to complete)
09:20:30   (slew complete)
09:20:30   Calling TargetStart user action.

09:20:30   Updating pointing...
09:20:30   Switching from SZ to SR filter for pointing exposure
09:20:30   Focus change of 50 steps required
09:20:33   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:20:33   (using Fast readout mode)
09:20:33   (starting exposure)
09:20:48   (exposure complete)
09:20:50   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
09:20:53  PROJNAME=AAVSO_P233_DKS_AUTO put into fits header
09:20:53  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
09:20:53 Focus postion= 3570
09:20:53   Image finished
09:20:53   Plate-solve pointing image.
09:20:54   373 image stars found
09:20:54   331 catalog stars found
09:20:55   Solved! 112 stars matched.
09:20:55   Average residual is 0.4 arcsec.
09:20:55   Pointing error is 3.398 arcmin @ angle 106.75
09:20:55   True focal length is 3462.4 mm.
09:20:55   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.90
09:20:55   True image center (J2000): 19h 07m 34.4s   44° 00' 09.76"
09:20:55   Imager sky position angle is 179.2 deg.
09:20:55   [sync] pointing model updated
09:20:55   Re-slew to target.
09:20:55   Start slew to MV_Lyr...
09:20:58   (wait for slew to complete)
09:21:07   (slew complete)
09:21:07   Target is now centered.
09:21:07   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:21:07   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:21:07   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
09:21:07   Focus change of 50 steps required
09:21:10   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:21:20   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=452.4778 Y=346.9858
09:21:20 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:21:21 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:21:33   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.996 Y=608.0779
09:21:34   (guide star SNR=33.3 X=1326 Y=608)
09:21:34   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
09:21:39 **No stars at all found in guider image
09:21:39 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
09:21:39 **Autoguiding failed.
