Licensed to Arne Henden
05:11:47 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
05:11:47 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:11:47   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:11:47 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:11:48 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:11:48 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:11:48 User actions detected.
05:11:48 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:11:49 Dome is MaxDome
05:11:49 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:11:49 Imager is ASCOM
05:11:49 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:11:49 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250124@051001 UTC
05:11:49 Imager readout modes:
05:11:49   0 is Fast
05:11:49   1 is Normal
05:11:49 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:11:49 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:11:49 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:11:49 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:11:49 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:11:56 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:11:56 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:11:56 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:11:56 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:11:56 ==== Starting target U_Leo ====
05:11:56 ACPS Observation U_Leo(1 of 1)
05:11:56   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan U_Leo)
05:11:56   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:11:57 Pointing updates are enabled
05:11:57 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:11:57   Start slew to U_Leo...
05:11:58   (wait for slew to complete)
05:13:13   (slew complete)
05:13:13   Calling TargetStart user action.

05:13:13   Updating pointing...
05:13:13   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:13:13   Focus change of -320 steps required
05:13:17   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:13:17   (using Fast readout mode)
05:13:17   (starting exposure)

05:13:47   Image finished
05:13:47   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:13:47   231 image stars found
05:13:47   150 catalog stars found
05:13:48   Solved! 47 stars matched.
05:13:48   Average residual is 0.35 arcsec.
05:13:48   Pointing error is 1.763 arcmin @ angle 303.36
05:13:48   True focal length is 3463.5 mm.
05:13:48   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
05:13:48   True image center (J2000): 10h 23m 57.7s   14° 01' 24.16"
05:13:48   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
05:13:48   [sync] pointing model updated
05:13:48   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
05:13:48   Target is now centered.
05:13:48   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:13:49   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
05:13:49   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
05:13:49   Focus change of 290 steps required
05:13:53   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:14:06   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
05:14:07 **No stars at all found in guider image
05:14:07 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:14:20   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=850.0137 Y=58.02723
05:14:21 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:14:21 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
05:14:21 **Autoguiding failed.
