Licensed to Arne Henden
10:18:52 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:18:52 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:18:52   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:18:52 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:18:53 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:18:53 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:18:53 User actions detected.
10:18:53 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:18:53 Dome is MaxDome
10:18:54 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:18:54 Imager is ASCOM
10:18:54 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:18:54 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240714@101726 UTC
10:18:54 Imager readout modes:
10:18:54   0 is Fast
10:18:54   1 is Normal
10:18:54 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:18:54 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:18:54 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:18:54 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:18:54 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:18:54 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:18:54 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:18:54 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:18:54 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:18:54 ==== Starting target HR_Lyr ====
10:18:54 ACPS Observation HR_Lyr(1 of 1)
10:18:54   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan HR_Lyr)
10:18:54   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:18:54 Pointing updates are enabled
10:18:54 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:18:54   Start slew to HR_Lyr...
10:18:56   (wait for slew to complete)
10:20:06   (slew complete)
10:20:06   Calling TargetStart user action.
10:20:06 Project Priority is: undefined
10:20:06     [flip check:  Tn=540s HAc=13802s GW=T HAz=14342s DWz=T WF=no]
10:20:06   Updating pointing...
10:20:06   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:20:06   Focus change of -290 steps required
10:20:10   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:20:10   (using Fast readout mode)
10:20:10   (starting exposure)
10:20:33   (exposure complete)
10:20:35   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:20:37  PROJNAME=AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO put into fits header
10:20:37  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
10:20:37 Focus postion= 3377
10:20:37   Image finished
10:20:37   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:20:38   1300 image stars found
10:20:38   428 catalog stars found
10:20:39   Solved! 152 stars matched.
10:20:39   Average residual is 0.35 arcsec.
10:20:39   Pointing error is 1.256 arcmin @ angle 87.92
10:20:39   True focal length is 3466.0 mm.
10:20:39   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
10:20:39   True image center (J2000): 18h 53m 30.8s   29° 13' 39.72"
10:20:39   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
10:20:39   [sync] pointing model updated
10:20:39   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:20:39   Target is now centered.
10:20:39   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:20:39   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
10:20:39   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
10:20:39   Focus change of -20 steps required
10:20:42   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:20:56   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=708.3806 Y=457.1213
10:20:56 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:20:56 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:21:09   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.876 Y=608.0583
10:21:10   (guide star SNR=36.9 X=1326 Y=608)
10:21:10   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
10:21:15 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:21:15 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
10:21:15 **Autoguiding failed.
