Licensed to Arne Henden
10:24:03 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:24:03 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:24:03   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:24:03 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:24:04 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:24:04 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:24:04 User actions detected.
10:24:04 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:24:04 Dome is MaxDome
10:24:04 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:24:04 Imager is ASCOM
10:24:04 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:24:04 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240726@102305 UTC
10:24:04 Imager readout modes:
10:24:04   0 is Fast
10:24:04   1 is Normal
10:24:04 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:24:04 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:24:04 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:24:04 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:24:04 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:24:04 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:24:04 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:24:04 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:24:04 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:24:04 ==== Starting target V630_Cas ====
10:24:04 ACPS Observation V630_Cas(1 of 1)
10:24:04   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan V630_Cas)
10:24:04   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:24:04 Pointing updates are enabled
10:24:04 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:24:04   Start slew to V630_Cas...
10:24:06   (wait for slew to complete)
10:24:49   (slew complete)

10:24:49   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:24:49   (using Fast readout mode)
10:24:49   (starting exposure)
10:25:02   (exposure complete)

10:25:07   Image finished
10:25:07   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:25:07   1187 image stars found
10:25:08   447 catalog stars found
10:25:09   Solved! 177 stars matched.
10:25:09   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
10:25:09   Pointing error is 1.191 arcmin @ angle 101.92
10:25:09   True focal length is 3469.1 mm.
10:25:09   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
10:25:09   True image center (J2000): 23h 48m 59.5s   51° 27' 24.22"
10:25:09   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
10:25:09   [sync] pointing model updated
10:25:09   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:25:09   Target is now centered.
10:25:09   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:25:09   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
10:25:09   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
10:25:09   Focus change of 290 steps required
10:25:13   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:25:26   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=452.1384 Y=347.3446
10:25:27 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:25:27 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:25:40   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.218 Y=608.0013
10:25:40   (guide star SNR=16.7 X=1326 Y=608)
10:25:40   (first exposure estimate 1.8 sec)
10:25:45 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:25:45 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
10:25:45 **Autoguiding failed.
