Licensed to Arne Henden
09:22:44 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:22:44 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:22:44   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:22:44 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:22:45 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:22:45 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:22:45 User actions detected.
09:22:45 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:22:45 Dome is MaxDome
09:22:45 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:22:45 Imager is ASCOM
09:22:45 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:22:45 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240726@092202 UTC
09:22:45 Imager readout modes:
09:22:45   0 is Fast
09:22:45   1 is Normal
09:22:45 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:22:45 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:22:45 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:22:45 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:22:45 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:22:45 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:22:45 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:22:45 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:22:45 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:22:45 ==== Starting target TT_Ari ====
09:22:45 ACPS Observation TT_Ari(1 of 1)
09:22:45   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan TT_Ari)
09:22:45   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:22:45 Pointing updates are enabled
09:22:45 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
09:22:45   Start slew to TT_Ari...
09:22:47   (wait for slew to complete)
09:24:35   (slew complete)
09:24:35   Calling TargetStart user action.

09:24:35   Updating pointing...
09:24:35   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
09:24:35   Focus change of 20 steps required
09:24:38   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:24:38   (using Fast readout mode)
09:24:38   (starting exposure)
09:24:52   (exposure complete)
09:24:54   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
09:24:56  PROJNAME=AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO put into fits header
09:24:56  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
09:24:57 Focus postion= 3276
09:24:57   Image finished
09:24:57   Plate-solve pointing image.
09:24:57   176 image stars found
09:24:58   133 catalog stars found
09:24:59   Solved! 39 stars matched.
09:24:59   Average residual is 0.41 arcsec.
09:24:59   Pointing error is 8.453 arcmin @ angle 89.70
09:24:59   True focal length is 3467.5 mm.
09:24:59   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
09:24:59   True image center (J2000): 02h 07m 28.2s   15° 17' 44.50"
09:24:59   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
09:24:59   [sync] pointing model updated
09:24:59   Re-slew to target.
09:24:59   Start slew to TT_Ari...
09:25:00   (wait for slew to complete)
09:25:10   (slew complete)
09:25:10   Target is now centered.
09:25:10   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:25:10   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
09:25:10   Switching from SR to SU filter for imaging
09:25:10   No focus change required
09:25:10   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:25:21   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1161.206 Y=865.2451
09:25:21 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:25:22 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:25:34   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.145 Y=608.0922
09:25:35   (guide star SNR=29.9 X=1326 Y=608)
09:25:35   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
09:25:40 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:25:40 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
09:25:40 **Autoguiding failed.
