Licensed to Arne Henden
12:17:56 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
12:17:56 Custom image file path/names are in use
12:17:56   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
12:17:56 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:17:57 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
12:17:57 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:17:57 User actions detected.
12:17:57 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:17:57 Dome is MaxDome
12:17:57 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:17:57 Imager is ASCOM
12:17:57 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:17:57 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250115@115853 UTC
12:17:57 Imager readout modes:
12:17:57   0 is Fast
12:17:57   1 is Normal
12:17:57 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:17:57 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:17:57 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:17:57 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:17:57 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:18:05 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:18:05 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:18:05 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:18:05 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
12:18:05 ==== Starting target X_Ser ====
12:18:05 ACPS Observation X_Ser(1 of 1)
12:18:05   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_MRV_AUTO_ver3136, Plan X_Ser)
12:18:05   (turning on sidereal tracking)
12:18:05 Pointing updates are enabled
12:18:05 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
12:18:05   Start slew to X_Ser...
12:18:07   (wait for slew to complete)
12:19:18   (slew complete)
12:19:18   Calling TargetStart user action.

12:19:37   263 image stars found
12:19:37   193 catalog stars found
12:19:38   Solved! 62 stars matched.
12:19:38   Average residual is 0.39 arcsec.
12:19:38   Pointing error is 1.726 arcmin @ angle 41.11
12:19:38   True focal length is 3468.3 mm.
12:19:38   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
12:19:38   True image center (J2000): 16h 19m 22.2s   -02° 28' 11.58"
12:19:38   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
12:19:38   [sync] pointing model updated
12:19:38   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
12:19:38   Target is now centered.
12:19:38   (high cadence option, no web previews)
12:19:38   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
12:19:38   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
12:19:38   Focus change of 320 steps required
12:19:42   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
12:19:56   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=708 Y=457
12:19:56 **No stars at all found in guider image
12:19:56 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
12:20:09   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=467 Y=717
12:20:10 **No stars at all found in guider image
12:20:10 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
12:20:10 **Autoguiding failed.
