Licensed to Arne Henden
10:38:02 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:38:02 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:38:02   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:38:02 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:38:03 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:38:03 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:38:03 User actions detected.
10:38:03 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:38:03 Dome is MaxDome
10:38:03 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:38:03 Imager is ASCOM
10:38:03 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:38:03 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240710@103408 UTC
10:38:03 Imager readout modes:
10:38:03   0 is Fast
10:38:03   1 is Normal
10:38:03 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:38:03 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:38:03 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:38:03 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:38:03 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:38:03 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:38:03 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:38:03 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:38:03 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:38:03 ==== Starting target TT_Ari ====
10:38:03 ACPS Observation TT_Ari(1 of 1)
10:38:03   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan TT_Ari)
10:38:03   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:38:03 Pointing updates are enabled
10:38:03 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:38:03   Start slew to TT_Ari...
10:38:05   (wait for slew to complete)
10:39:31   (slew complete)
10:39:31   Calling TargetStart user action.

10:39:31   Updating pointing...
10:39:31   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:39:31   Focus change of -320 steps required
10:39:35   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:39:35   (using Fast readout mode)
10:39:35   (starting exposure)
10:39:58   (exposure complete)
10:40:01   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:40:03  PROJNAME=AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO put into fits header
10:40:03  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
10:40:03 Focus postion= 3472
10:40:03   Image finished
10:40:03   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:40:04   240 image stars found
10:40:04   133 catalog stars found
10:40:05   Solved! 38 stars matched.
10:40:05   Average residual is 0.39 arcsec.
10:40:05   Pointing error is 2.144 arcmin @ angle 285.03
10:40:05   True focal length is 3466.7 mm.
10:40:05   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
10:40:05   True image center (J2000): 02h 06m 44.5s   15° 18' 15.36"
10:40:05   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
10:40:05   [sync] pointing model updated
10:40:05   Re-slew to target.
10:40:05   Start slew to TT_Ari...
10:40:08   (wait for slew to complete)
10:40:18   (slew complete)
10:40:18   Target is now centered.
10:40:18   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:40:18   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
10:40:18   Switching from SR to SU filter for imaging
10:40:18   No focus change required
10:40:18   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:40:28   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=602.3725 Y=59.01398
10:40:29 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:40:29 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:40:42   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.193 Y=608.1781
10:40:42 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:40:42 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
10:40:42 **Autoguiding failed.
