Licensed to Arne Henden
10:05:42 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:05:42 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:05:42   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:05:42 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:05:43 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:05:43 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:05:43 User actions detected.
10:05:43 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:05:43 Dome is MaxDome
10:05:43 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:05:43 Imager is ASCOM
10:05:43 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:05:43 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240714@100519 UTC
10:05:43 Imager readout modes:
10:05:43   0 is Fast
10:05:43   1 is Normal
10:05:43 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:05:43 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:05:43 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:05:43 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:05:43 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:05:43 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:05:43 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:05:43 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:05:43 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:05:43 ==== Starting target V1412_Aql ====
10:05:43 ACPS Observation V1412_Aql(1 of 1)
10:05:43   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan V1412_Aql)
10:05:43   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:05:43 Pointing updates are enabled
10:05:43 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:05:43   Start slew to V1412_Aql...
10:05:45   (wait for slew to complete)
10:07:05   (slew complete)
10:07:05   Calling TargetStart user action.

10:07:05   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:07:05   Focus change of -290 steps required
10:07:08   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:07:08   (using Fast readout mode)
10:07:08   (starting exposure)
10:07:31   (exposure complete)
10:07:33   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:07:35  PROJNAME=AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO put into fits header
10:07:35  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
10:07:35 Focus postion= 3377
10:07:35   Image finished
10:07:35   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:07:36   1597 image stars found
10:07:36   288 catalog stars found
10:07:38   Solved! 128 stars matched.
10:07:38   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
10:07:38   Pointing error is 1.703 arcmin @ angle 107.89
10:07:38   True focal length is 3467.4 mm.
10:07:38   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
10:07:38   True image center (J2000): 20h 14m 02.2s   06° 42' 13.50"
10:07:38   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
10:07:38   [sync] pointing model updated
10:07:38   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:07:38   Target is now centered.
10:07:38   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:07:38   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
10:07:38   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
10:07:38   Focus change of 290 steps required
10:07:41   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:07:55   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.39 Y=608.2389
10:07:56 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:07:56 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:08:09   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.111 Y=608.0988
10:08:09   (guide star SNR=33.1 X=1326 Y=608)
10:08:10   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
10:08:15 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:08:15 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
10:08:15 **Autoguiding failed.
