Licensed to Arne Henden
08:52:46 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:52:46 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:52:46   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:52:46 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:52:47 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:52:47 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:52:47 User actions detected.
08:52:47 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:52:47 Dome is MaxDome
08:52:47 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:52:47 Imager is ASCOM
08:52:47 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:52:47 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240711@034616 UTC
08:52:47 Imager readout modes:
08:52:47   0 is Fast
08:52:47   1 is Normal
08:52:47 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:52:47 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:52:47 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:52:47 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:52:47 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:52:47 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:52:47 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:52:47 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:52:47 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:52:47 ==== Starting target V0406_Vul ====
08:52:47 ACPS Observation V0406_Vul(1 of 1)
08:52:47   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P194_BPEC_AUTO_ver2706, Plan V0406_Vul)
08:52:47   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:52:47 Pointing updates are enabled
08:52:47 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
08:52:47   Start slew to V0406_Vul...
08:52:49   (wait for slew to complete)
08:53:04   (slew complete)
08:53:04   Calling TargetStart user action.

08:53:04   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:53:04   (using Fast readout mode)
08:53:04   (starting exposure)
08:53:17   (exposure complete)
08:53:20   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
08:53:22  PROJNAME=AAVSO_P194_BPEC_AUTO put into fits header
08:53:22  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
08:53:22 Focus postion= 3472
08:53:22   Image finished
08:53:22   Plate-solve pointing image.
08:53:23   1282 image stars found
08:53:23   332 catalog stars found
08:53:24   Solved! 93 stars matched.
08:53:24   Average residual is 0.29 arcsec.
08:53:24   Pointing error is 1.750 arcmin @ angle 65.72
08:53:24   True focal length is 3466.5 mm.
08:53:24   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
08:53:24   True image center (J2000): 18h 58m 48.4s   22° 40' 13.36"
08:53:24   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
08:53:24   [sync] pointing model updated
08:53:24   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
08:53:24   Target is now centered.
08:53:24   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:53:24   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:53:24   Switching from SR to Open filter for imaging
08:53:24   Focus change of -360 steps required
08:53:28   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:53:39   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=708.2596 Y=457.0462
08:53:40 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:53:40 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:53:53   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.027 Y=608.0276
08:53:53 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:53:54 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
08:53:54 **Autoguiding failed.
