Licensed to Arne Henden
08:25:07 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:25:07 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:25:07   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:25:07 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:25:08 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:25:08 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:25:08 User actions detected.
08:25:08 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:25:08 Dome is MaxDome
08:25:08 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:25:08 Imager is ASCOM
08:25:08 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:25:08 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240714@082319 UTC
08:25:08 Imager readout modes:
08:25:08   0 is Fast
08:25:08   1 is Normal
08:25:08 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:25:08 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:25:08 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:25:08 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:25:08 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:25:08 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:25:08 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:25:08 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:25:08 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:25:08 ==== Starting target 1RXS_J213344 ====
08:25:08 ACPS Observation 1RXS_J213344(1 of 1)
08:25:08   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P520_MMAE_AUTO_ver4555, Plan 1RXS_J213344)
08:25:08   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:25:08 Pointing updates are enabled
08:25:08 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
08:25:08   Start slew to 1RXS_J213344...
08:25:10   (wait for slew to complete)
08:26:05   (slew complete)

08:26:05   Updating pointing...
08:26:05   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:26:05   Focus change of -50 steps required
08:26:08   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:26:08   (using Fast readout mode)
08:26:08   (starting exposure)
08:26:27   (exposure complete)
08:26:30   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
08:26:32  PROJNAME=AAVSO_P520_MMAE_AUTO put into fits header
08:26:32  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
08:26:32 Focus postion= 3533
08:26:32   Image finished
08:26:32   Plate-solve pointing image.
08:26:33   1660 image stars found
08:26:33   321 catalog stars found
08:26:34   Solved! 101 stars matched.
08:26:34   Average residual is 0.27 arcsec.
08:26:34   Pointing error is 1.578 arcmin @ angle 234.38
08:26:34   True focal length is 3464.3 mm.
08:26:34   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
08:26:34   True image center (J2000): 21h 33m 35.4s   51° 06' 29.53"
08:26:34   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
08:26:34   [sync] pointing model updated
08:26:34   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
08:26:34   Target is now centered.
08:26:34   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:26:34   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:26:34   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
08:26:34   Focus change of 290 steps required
08:26:38   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:26:52   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.248 Y=608.5007
08:26:53 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:26:53 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:27:06   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.978 Y=608.2118
08:27:06   (guide star SNR=33.7 X=1326 Y=608)
08:27:07   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
08:27:12 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:27:12 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:27:12 **Autoguiding failed.
