Licensed to Arne Henden
10:06:22 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:06:22 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:06:22   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:06:22 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:06:23 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:06:23 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:06:23 User actions detected.
10:06:23 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:06:23 Dome is MaxDome
10:06:23 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:06:23 Imager is ASCOM
10:06:23 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:06:23 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20240710@100131 UTC
10:06:23 Imager readout modes:
10:06:23   0 is Fast
10:06:23   1 is Normal
10:06:23 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:06:23 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:06:23 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:06:23 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:06:23 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:06:23 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:06:23 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:06:23 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:06:23 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:06:23 ==== Starting target M56_V6 ====
10:06:23 ACPS Observation M56_V6(1 of 1)
10:06:23   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan M56_V6)
10:06:23   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:06:23 Pointing updates are enabled
10:06:23 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:06:23   Start slew to M56_V6...
10:06:25   (wait for slew to complete)
10:07:00   (slew complete)
10:07:00   Calling TargetStart user action.
10:07:00 Project Priority is: undefined

10:07:00   Updating pointing...
10:07:00   Switching from SU to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:07:00   No focus change required
10:07:00   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:07:00   (using Fast readout mode)
10:07:00   (starting exposure)
10:07:18   (exposure complete)
10:07:20   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:07:23  PROJNAME=AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO put into fits header
10:07:23  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
10:07:23 Focus postion= 3472
10:07:23   Image finished
10:07:23   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:07:24   1971 image stars found
10:07:24   357 catalog stars found
10:07:25   Solved! 132 stars matched.
10:07:25   Average residual is 0.26 arcsec.
10:07:25   Pointing error is 1.762 arcmin @ angle 55.28
10:07:25   True focal length is 3464.6 mm.
10:07:25   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
10:07:25   True image center (J2000): 19h 16m 42.2s   30° 12' 04.41"
10:07:25   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
10:07:25   [sync] pointing model updated
10:07:25   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:07:25   Target is now centered.
10:07:25   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:07:25   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
10:07:25   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
10:07:25   Focus change of 320 steps required
10:07:29   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:07:42   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=723.0994 Y=913.119
10:07:43 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:07:43 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:07:56   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.877 Y=608.0554
10:07:56   (guide star SNR=26.7 X=1326 Y=608)
10:07:56   (first exposure estimate 1.13 sec)
10:08:01 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:08:01 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
10:08:01 **Autoguiding failed.
