Licensed to Arne Henden
10:40:49 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:40:49 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:40:49   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:40:49 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:40:50 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:40:50 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:40:50 User actions detected.
10:40:50 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:40:50 Dome is MaxDome
10:40:51 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:40:51 Imager is ASCOM
10:40:51 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:40:51 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20240710@104018 UTC
10:40:51 Imager readout modes:
10:40:51   0 is Fast
10:40:51   1 is Normal
10:40:51 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:40:51 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:40:51 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:40:51 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:40:51 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:40:51 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:40:51 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:40:51 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:40:51 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:40:51 ==== Starting target GZ_Cet ====
10:40:51 ACPS Observation GZ_Cet(1 of 1)
10:40:51   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan GZ_Cet)
10:40:51   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:40:52 Pointing updates are enabled
10:40:52 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:40:52   Start slew to GZ_Cet...
10:40:53   (wait for slew to complete)

10:41:18   Updating pointing...
10:41:19   Switching from SU to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:41:19   No focus change required
10:41:19   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:41:19   (using Fast readout mode)
10:41:19   (starting exposure)
10:41:37   (exposure complete)
10:41:39   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:41:41  PROJNAME=AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO put into fits header
10:41:42  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
10:41:42 Focus postion= 3472
10:41:42   Image finished
10:41:42   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:41:43   186 image stars found
10:41:43   91 catalog stars found
10:41:44   Solved! 8 stars matched.
10:41:44   Average residual is 0.53 arcsec.
10:41:44   Pointing error is 2.904 arcmin @ angle 82.50
10:41:44   True focal length is 3488.8 mm.
10:41:44   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
10:41:44   True image center (J2000): 01h 37m 12.7s   -09° 12' 11.43"
10:41:44   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
10:41:44   [sync] pointing model updated
10:41:44   Re-slew to target.
10:41:44   Start slew to GZ_Cet...
10:41:46   (wait for slew to complete)
10:41:55   (slew complete)
10:41:55   Target is now centered.
10:41:55   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:41:55   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
10:41:55   Switching from SR to R filter for imaging
10:41:55   Focus change of 270 steps required
10:41:59   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:42:13   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=913.2861 Y=458.9999
10:42:14 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:42:14 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:42:27   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.818 Y=608.0652
10:42:28 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:42:28 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
10:42:28 **Autoguiding failed.
