Licensed to Arne Henden
09:03:23 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:03:23 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:03:23   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:03:23 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:03:24 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:03:24 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:03:24 User actions detected.
09:03:24 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:03:24 Dome is MaxDome
09:03:24 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:03:24 Imager is ASCOM
09:03:24 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:03:24 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240711@090236 UTC
09:03:24 Imager readout modes:
09:03:24   0 is Fast
09:03:24   1 is Normal
09:03:24 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:03:24 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:03:24 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:03:24 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:03:24 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:03:24 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:03:24 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:03:24 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:03:24 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:03:24 ==== Starting target AE_And ====
09:03:24 ACPS Observation AE_And(1 of 1)
09:03:24   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P251_MSD_AUTO_ver2819, Plan AE_And)
09:03:24   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:03:24 Pointing updates are enabled

09:04:47   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
09:04:47   Focus change of -50 steps required
09:04:49   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:04:49   (using Fast readout mode)
09:04:49   (starting exposure)
09:05:09   (exposure complete)
09:05:11   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
09:05:13  PROJNAME=AAVSO_P251_MSD_AUTO put into fits header
09:05:13  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header

09:05:13   Image finished
09:05:13   Plate-solve pointing image.
09:05:14   487 image stars found
09:05:14   297 catalog stars found
09:05:15   Solved! 110 stars matched.
09:05:15   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
09:05:15   Pointing error is 2.098 arcmin @ angle 286.49

09:05:15   [sync] pointing model updated
09:05:15   Re-slew to target.
09:05:15   Start slew to AE_And...
09:05:17   (wait for slew to complete)
09:05:27   (slew complete)
09:05:27   Target is now centered.
09:05:27   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:05:27   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:05:27   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
09:05:27   Focus change of 320 steps required
09:05:31   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:05:44   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1228.857 Y=1002.437
09:05:44 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:05:44 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:05:57   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.274 Y=608.4476
09:05:58 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:05:58 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
09:05:58 **Autoguiding failed.
