Licensed to Arne Henden
09:27:38 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:27:38 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:27:38   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:27:38 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:27:39 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:27:39 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:27:39 User actions detected.
09:27:39 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:27:39 Dome is MaxDome
09:27:39 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:27:39 Imager is ASCOM
09:27:39 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:27:39 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240711@092555 UTC
09:27:39 Imager readout modes:
09:27:39   0 is Fast
09:27:39   1 is Normal
09:27:39 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:27:39 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:27:39 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:27:39 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:27:39 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:27:39 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:27:39 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:27:39 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:27:39 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:27:39 ==== Starting target AF_And ====
09:27:39 ACPS Observation AF_And(1 of 1)
09:27:39   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P251_MSD_AUTO_ver2819, Plan AF_And)
09:27:39   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:27:39 Pointing updates are enabled
09:27:39 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
09:27:39   Start slew to AF_And...
09:27:41   (wait for slew to complete)
09:28:26   (slew complete)
09:28:26   Calling TargetStart user action.

09:28:26   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
09:28:26   Focus change of -50 steps required
09:28:29   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:28:29   (using Fast readout mode)
09:28:29   (starting exposure)
09:28:48   (exposure complete)
09:28:51   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
09:28:53  PROJNAME=AAVSO_P251_MSD_AUTO put into fits header
09:28:53  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
09:28:53 Focus postion= 3472
09:28:53   Image finished
09:28:53   Plate-solve pointing image.
09:28:54   585 image stars found
09:28:54   240 catalog stars found
09:28:55   Solved! 71 stars matched.
09:28:55   Average residual is 0.29 arcsec.
09:28:55   Pointing error is 1.960 arcmin @ angle 278.10
09:28:55   True focal length is 3466.3 mm.
09:28:55   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
09:28:55   True image center (J2000): 00h 43m 22.8s   41° 12' 26.83"
09:28:55   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
09:28:55   [sync] pointing model updated
09:28:55   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:28:55   Target is now centered.
09:28:55   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:28:55   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:28:55   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
09:28:55   Focus change of 320 steps required
09:28:59   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:29:12   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=587.1837 Y=876.3888
09:29:12   (guide star SNR=7.7 X=587 Y=876)
09:29:12   (first exposure estimate 1.95 sec)
09:29:18   (guide star SNR=5.6 X=582 Y=872)
09:29:18   (final exposure for guiding 1.04 sec)
09:29:23   (guide star SNR=2.8 X=566 Y=863)
09:29:24 **Guider unexpectedly stopped while waiting for measurement
09:29:25   (take guider image at initial interval 1.04 sec)
09:29:29   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1229.012 Y=1001.986
09:29:30 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:29:30 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:29:43   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1328.329 Y=609.8688
09:29:43 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:29:43 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
09:29:43 **Autoguiding failed.
