Licensed to Arne Henden
08:06:28 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:06:28 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:06:28   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:06:28 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:06:29 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:06:29 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:06:29 User actions detected.
08:06:29 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:06:29 Dome is MaxDome
08:06:29 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:06:29 Imager is ASCOM
08:06:29 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:06:29 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240714@080129 UTC
08:06:29 Imager readout modes:
08:06:29   0 is Fast
08:06:29   1 is Normal
08:06:29 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:06:29 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:06:29 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:06:29 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:06:29 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:06:29 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:06:29 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:06:29 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:06:29 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:06:29 ==== Starting target IX_Dra ====
08:06:29 ACPS Observation IX_Dra(1 of 1)
08:06:29   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P153_SFY_AUTO_ver2706, Plan IX_Dra)
08:06:29   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:06:29 Pointing updates are enabled
08:06:29 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
08:06:29   Start slew to IX_Dra...
08:06:31   (wait for slew to complete)
08:07:02   (slew complete)
08:07:02   Calling TargetStart user action.

08:07:02   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:07:02   (using Fast readout mode)
08:07:02   (starting exposure)
08:07:16   (exposure complete)
08:07:18   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
08:07:20  PROJNAME=AAVSO_P153_SFY_AUTO put into fits header
08:07:20  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
08:07:21 Focus postion= 3533
08:07:21   Image finished
08:07:21   Plate-solve pointing image.
08:07:21   370 image stars found
08:07:21   307 catalog stars found
08:07:23   Solved! 99 stars matched.
08:07:23   Average residual is 0.39 arcsec.
08:07:23   Pointing error is 1.162 arcmin @ angle 124.71
08:07:23   True focal length is 3462.8 mm.
08:07:23   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
08:07:23   True image center (J2000): 18h 12m 41.3s   67° 04' 06.08"
08:07:23   Imager sky position angle is 179.5 deg.
08:07:23   [sync] pointing model updated
08:07:23   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
08:07:23   Target is now centered.
08:07:23   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:07:23   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:07:23   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
08:07:23   Focus change of 290 steps required
08:07:27   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:07:41   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=451.9307 Y=346.8777
08:07:41 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:07:42 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:07:54   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.077 Y=608.0807
08:07:55   (guide star SNR=53.0 X=1326 Y=608)
08:07:55   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
08:08:00 **No stars at all found in guider image
08:08:00 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:08:00 **Autoguiding failed.
