Licensed to Arne Henden
09:47:19 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:47:19 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:47:19   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:47:19 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:47:21 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:47:21 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:47:21 User actions detected.
09:47:21 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:47:21 Dome is MaxDome
09:47:21 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:47:21 Imager is ASCOM
09:47:21 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:47:21 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240714@094404 UTC
09:47:21 Imager readout modes:
09:47:21   0 is Fast
09:47:21   1 is Normal
09:47:21 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:47:21 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:47:21 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:47:21 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:47:21 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:47:21 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:47:21 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:47:21 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:47:21 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:47:21 ==== Starting target PV_Cep ====
09:47:21 ACPS Observation PV_Cep(1 of 1)
09:47:21   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan PV_Cep)
09:47:21   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:47:21 Pointing updates are enabled
09:47:21 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
09:47:21   Start slew to PV_Cep...
09:47:23   (wait for slew to complete)
09:47:42   (slew complete)
09:47:42   Calling TargetStart user action.
09:47:42 Project Priority is: undefined
09:47:42     [flip check:  Tn=560s HAc=5146s GW=T HAz=5706s DWz=T WF=no]
09:47:42   Updating pointing...
09:47:43   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
09:47:43   Focus change of -320 steps required
09:47:47   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:47:47   (using Fast readout mode)
09:47:47   (starting exposure)
09:48:10   (exposure complete)
09:48:13   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
09:48:15  PROJNAME=AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO put into fits header
09:48:15  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
09:48:15 Focus postion= 3377
09:48:15   Image finished
09:48:15   Plate-solve pointing image.
09:48:16   691 image stars found
09:48:16   384 catalog stars found
09:48:17   Solved! 159 stars matched.
09:48:17   Average residual is 0.29 arcsec.
09:48:17   Pointing error is 1.143 arcmin @ angle 116.43
09:48:17   True focal length is 3464.1 mm.
09:48:17   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
09:48:17   True image center (J2000): 20h 46m 04.9s   67° 57' 08.15"
09:48:17   Imager sky position angle is 179.4 deg.
09:48:17   [sync] pointing model updated
09:48:17   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:48:17   Target is now centered.
09:48:17   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:48:17   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:48:17   Switching from SR to SU filter for imaging
09:48:17   No focus change required
09:48:17   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:48:28   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1027.527 Y=945.2222
09:48:29 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:48:29 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:48:42   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.116 Y=608.1317
09:48:42   (guide star SNR=33.7 X=1326 Y=608)
09:48:43   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
09:48:47 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:48:47 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
09:48:47 **Autoguiding failed.
