This is ACP version 9.2 (build 1, ACP 9.2.1 (Production))
Licensed to Arne Henden
04:45:13 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
04:45:13 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:45:13   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:45:13 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:45:14 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
04:45:14 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:45:14 User actions detected.
04:45:14 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:45:14 Dome is MaxDome
04:45:14 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:45:14 Imager is ASCOM
04:45:14 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:45:14 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250206@044404 UTC
04:45:14 Imager readout modes:
04:45:14   0 is Fast
04:45:14   1 is Normal
04:45:14 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:45:14 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:45:14 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:45:14 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:45:14 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:45:21 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:45:21 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:45:21 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:45:21 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:45:21 ==== Starting target U_Leo ====
04:45:21 ACPS Observation U_Leo(1 of 1)
04:45:21   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan U_Leo)
04:45:21   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:45:22 Pointing updates are enabled
04:45:22 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:45:22   Start slew to U_Leo...
04:45:23   (wait for slew to complete)
04:46:50   (slew complete)
04:46:50   Calling TargetStart user action.

04:46:50   Updating pointing...
04:46:50   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:46:50   Focus change of -320 steps required
04:46:54   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:46:54   (using Fast readout mode)
04:46:54   (starting exposure)
04:47:17   (exposure complete)
04:47:20   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:47:20   Camera temp (deg.C) = -11.9
04:47:21   Focuser position = 3478
04:47:21   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 16.7

04:47:22   Image finished
04:47:22   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:47:23   190 image stars found
04:47:23   150 catalog stars found
04:47:24   Solved! 45 stars matched.
04:47:24   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
04:47:24   Pointing error is 1.414 arcmin @ angle 61.62
04:47:24   True focal length is 3465.1 mm.
04:47:24   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
04:47:24   True image center (J2000): 10h 24m 08.9s   14° 01' 06.33"
04:47:24   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
04:47:24   [sync] pointing model updated
04:47:24   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
04:47:24   Target is now centered.
04:47:24   (high cadence option, no web previews)
04:47:24   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
04:47:24   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
04:47:24   Focus change of 290 steps required
04:47:28   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:47:42   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=451.5803 Y=346.9922
04:47:42 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:47:42 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
04:47:56   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
04:47:56 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:47:57 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
04:47:57 **Autoguiding failed.
