Licensed to Arne Henden
10:38:16 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:38:16 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:38:16   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:38:16 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:38:17 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:38:17 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:38:17 User actions detected.
10:38:17 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:38:17 Dome is MaxDome
10:38:17 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:38:17 Imager is ASCOM
10:38:17 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:38:17 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240629@103736 UTC
10:38:17 Imager readout modes:
10:38:17   0 is Fast
10:38:17   1 is Normal
10:38:17 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:38:17 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:38:17 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:38:17 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:38:17 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:38:17 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:38:17 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:38:17 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:38:17 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

10:38:59   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:38:59   Focus change of -320 steps required
10:39:02   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:39:03   (using Fast readout mode)
10:39:03   (starting exposure)
10:39:26   (exposure complete)

10:39:31   Image finished
10:39:31   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:39:32   1209 image stars found
10:39:32   357 catalog stars found
10:39:33   Solved! 112 stars matched.
10:39:33   Average residual is 0.39 arcsec.
10:39:33   Pointing error is 3.170 arcmin @ angle 102.23
10:39:33   True focal length is 3460.4 mm.
10:39:33   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.90 V = 0.90
10:39:33   True image center (J2000): 19h 07m 54.8s   00° 02' 10.61"
10:39:33   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
10:39:33   [sync] pointing model updated
10:39:33   Re-slew to target.
10:39:33   Start slew to NSV_11749...
10:39:35   (wait for slew to complete)
10:39:45   (slew complete)
10:39:45   Target is now centered.
10:39:45   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:39:45   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
10:39:45   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
10:39:45   Focus change of 320 steps required
10:39:48   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:40:01   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1181.863 Y=375.5914
10:40:02   (guide star SNR=7.9 X=1181 Y=375)
10:40:02   (first exposure estimate 1.9 sec)
10:40:08 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:40:08 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
10:40:08 **Autoguiding failed.
