Licensed to Arne Henden
10:19:27 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:19:27 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:19:27   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:19:27 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:19:28 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:19:28 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:19:28 User actions detected.
10:19:28 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:19:28 Dome is MaxDome
10:19:28 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:19:28 Imager is ASCOM
10:19:28 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:19:28 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20240726@101850 UTC
10:19:28 Imager readout modes:
10:19:28   0 is Fast
10:19:28   1 is Normal
10:19:28 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:19:28 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:19:28 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:19:28 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:19:28 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:19:28 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:19:28 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:19:28 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:19:28 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:19:28 ==== Starting target B0133+47 ====
10:19:28 ACPS Observation B0133+47(1 of 1)
10:19:28   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan B0133+47)
10:19:28   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:19:28 Pointing updates are enabled
10:19:28 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:19:28   Start slew to B0133+47...
10:19:30   (wait for slew to complete)
10:20:34   (slew complete)
10:20:34   Calling TargetStart user action.

10:20:34   Updating pointing...
10:20:34   Switching from SU to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:20:34   No focus change required
10:20:34   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:20:34   (using Fast readout mode)
10:20:34   (starting exposure)
10:20:53   (exposure complete)
10:20:55   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:20:57  PROJNAME=AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO put into fits header
10:20:57  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
10:20:58 Focus postion= 3276
10:20:58   Image finished
10:20:58   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:20:59   657 image stars found
10:20:59   390 catalog stars found
10:21:01   Solved! 125 stars matched.
10:21:01   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
10:21:01   Pointing error is 1.291 arcmin @ angle 105.18
10:21:01   True focal length is 3469.9 mm.
10:21:01   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
10:21:01   True image center (J2000): 01h 37m 06.0s   47° 51' 08.79"
10:21:01   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
10:21:01   [sync] pointing model updated
10:21:01   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:21:01   Target is now centered.
10:21:01   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:21:01   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
10:21:01   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
10:21:01   Focus change of 290 steps required
10:21:05   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:21:19   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=78.18987 Y=825.5364
10:21:19 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:21:19 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:21:32   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.828 Y=608.1729
10:21:33   (guide star SNR=18.0 X=1326 Y=608)
10:21:33   (first exposure estimate 1.67 sec)
10:21:38 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:21:38 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
10:21:38 **Autoguiding failed.
