Licensed to Arne Henden
08:10:49 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
08:10:49 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:10:49   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:10:49 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:10:50 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:10:50 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:10:50 User actions detected.
08:10:50 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:10:50 Dome is MaxDome
08:10:50 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:10:50 Imager is ASCOM
08:10:50 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:10:50 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250115@080858 UTC
08:10:50 Imager readout modes:
08:10:50   0 is Fast
08:10:50   1 is Normal
08:10:50 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:10:50 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:10:50 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:10:50 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:10:50 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:10:58 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:10:58 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:10:58 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:10:58 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:10:58 ==== Starting target U_Leo ====
08:10:58 ACPS Observation U_Leo(1 of 1)
08:10:58   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_SFY_AUTO_ver2706, Plan U_Leo)
08:10:58   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:10:58 Pointing updates are enabled
08:10:58 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
08:10:58   Start slew to U_Leo...
08:10:59   (wait for slew to complete)
08:12:00   (slew complete)
08:12:00   Calling TargetStart user action.

08:12:00   Updating pointing...
08:12:00   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:12:00   Focus change of -290 steps required
08:12:03   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:12:03   (using Fast readout mode)
08:12:03   (starting exposure)
08:12:26   (exposure complete)
08:12:29   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
08:12:29   Camera temp (deg.C) = -11.9
08:12:30   Focuser position = 3778
08:12:30   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 0.1
08:12:31  PROJNAME=AAVSO_MISC_SFY_AUTO put into fits header
08:12:31  CCD-TPWR=17 put into fits header

08:12:31   Image finished
08:12:31   Plate-solve pointing image.
08:12:32   103 image stars found
08:12:32   150 catalog stars found
08:12:33   Solved! 36 stars matched.
08:12:33   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
08:12:33   Pointing error is 0.907 arcmin @ angle 31.03
08:12:33   True focal length is 3468.9 mm.
08:12:33   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
08:12:33   True image center (J2000): 10h 24m 05.7s   14° 01' 12.63"
08:12:33   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
08:12:33   [sync] pointing model updated
08:12:33   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
08:12:33   Target is now centered.
08:12:33   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:12:33   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:12:33   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
08:12:33   Focus change of 290 steps required
08:12:37   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:12:51   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=452.3754 Y=347
08:12:52 **No stars at all found in guider image
08:12:52 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:13:05   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
08:13:05 **No stars at all found in guider image
08:13:05 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
08:13:05 **Autoguiding failed.
