Licensed to Arne Henden
09:43:53 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:43:53 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:43:53   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:43:53 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:43:54 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:43:54 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:43:54 User actions detected.
09:43:54 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:43:54 Dome is MaxDome
09:43:54 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:43:54 Imager is ASCOM
09:43:54 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:43:54 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240708@094218 UTC
09:43:54 Imager readout modes:
09:43:54   0 is Fast
09:43:54   1 is Normal
09:43:54 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:43:54 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:43:54 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:43:54 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:43:54 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:43:54 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:43:54 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:43:54 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:43:54 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

09:44:41   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
09:44:41   Focus change of -50 steps required
09:44:43   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:44:43   (using Fast readout mode)
09:44:43   (starting exposure)

09:45:08   627 image stars found
09:45:08   212 catalog stars found
09:45:10   Solved! 75 stars matched.
09:45:10   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
09:45:10   Pointing error is 2.419 arcmin @ angle 276.07
09:45:10   True focal length is 3463.9 mm.
09:45:10   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
09:45:10   True image center (J2000): 20h 58m 03.7s   43° 53' 58.70"
09:45:10   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
09:45:10   [sync] pointing model updated
09:45:10   Re-slew to target.
09:45:10   Start slew to V2493_Cyg...
09:45:12   (wait for slew to complete)
09:45:22   (slew complete)
09:45:22   Target is now centered.
09:45:22   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:45:22   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:45:22   Switching from SR to SU filter for imaging
09:45:22   No focus change required
09:45:22   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:45:33   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.879 Y=608.1227
09:45:34   (guide star SNR=12.9 X=1326 Y=608)
09:45:34   (first exposure estimate 1.16 sec)
09:45:39 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:45:39 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
09:45:39 **Autoguiding failed.
