Licensed to Arne Henden
09:05:49 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:05:49 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:05:49   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:05:49 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:05:50 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:05:50 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:05:50 User actions detected.
09:05:50 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:05:50 Dome is MaxDome
09:05:50 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:05:50 Imager is ASCOM
09:05:50 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:05:50 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240710@090446 UTC
09:05:50 Imager readout modes:
09:05:50   0 is Fast
09:05:50   1 is Normal
09:05:50 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:05:50 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:05:50 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:05:50 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:05:50 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:05:50 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:05:50 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:05:50 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:05:50 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:05:50 ==== Starting target V1323_Her ====
09:05:50 ACPS Observation V1323_Her(1 of 1)
09:05:50   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P518_MMAE_AUTO_ver4553, Plan V1323_Her)
09:05:50   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:05:50 Pointing updates are enabled
09:05:50 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
09:05:50   Start slew to V1323_Her...
09:05:52   (wait for slew to complete)
09:06:22   (slew complete)
09:06:22   Calling TargetStart user action.

09:06:22   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:06:22   (using Fast readout mode)
09:06:22   (starting exposure)
09:06:35   (exposure complete)
09:06:38   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
09:06:40  PROJNAME=AAVSO_P518_MMAE_AUTO put into fits header
09:06:40  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
09:06:40 Focus postion= 3472
09:06:40   Image finished
09:06:40   Plate-solve pointing image.
09:06:41   445 image stars found
09:06:41   325 catalog stars found
09:06:42   Solved! 116 stars matched.
09:06:42   Average residual is 0.34 arcsec.
09:06:42   Pointing error is 1.396 arcmin @ angle 57.41
09:06:42   True focal length is 3465.7 mm.
09:06:42   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
09:06:42   True image center (J2000): 18h 03m 45.8s   40° 13' 05.21"
09:06:42   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
09:06:42   [sync] pointing model updated
09:06:42   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:06:42   Target is now centered.
09:06:42   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:06:42   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:06:42   Switching from SR to Open filter for imaging
09:06:42   Focus change of -360 steps required
09:06:46   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:06:57   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=707.7972 Y=456.9672
09:06:57 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:06:57 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:07:11   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.74 Y=608.103
09:07:11 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:07:11 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
