Licensed to Arne Henden
03:54:58 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
03:54:58 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:54:58   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:54:58 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:54:59 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:54:59 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:54:59 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:54:59 Dome is MaxDome
03:54:59 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:54:59 Imager is ASCOM
03:54:59 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:54:59 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250524@035341 UTC
03:54:59 Imager readout modes:
03:54:59   0 is Fast
03:54:59   1 is Normal
03:54:59 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:54:59 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:54:59 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:54:59 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:54:59 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:55:07 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:55:07 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:55:07 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:55:07 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:55:07 ==== Starting target AT_2016blu ====
03:55:07 ACPS Observation AT_2016blu(1 of 1)
03:55:07   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P592_RTH_AUTO_ver5128, Plan AT_2016blu)
03:55:07   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:55:07 Pointing updates are enabled
03:55:07 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:55:07   Start slew to AT_2016blu...
03:55:09   (wait for slew to complete)
03:56:03   (slew complete)
03:56:03     [flip check:  Tn=540s HAc=1210s GW=T HAz=1750s DWz=T WF=no]
03:56:03   Updating pointing...
03:56:03   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:56:03   Focus change of -320 steps required
03:56:07   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:56:08   (using Fast readout mode)
03:56:08   (starting exposure)
03:56:31   (exposure complete)
03:56:33   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:56:33   Camera temp (deg.C) = -4
03:56:35   Focuser position = 3300
03:56:35   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 26.5
03:56:35   Image finished
03:56:35   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:56:36   102 image stars found
03:56:36   102 catalog stars found
03:56:37   Solved! 11 stars matched.
03:56:37   Average residual is 0.5 arcsec.
03:56:37   Pointing error is 0.318 arcmin @ angle 20.65
03:56:37   True focal length is 3477.0 mm.
03:56:37   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:56:37   True image center (J2000): 12h 35m 52.8s   27° 56' 13.33"
03:56:37   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
03:56:37   [sync] pointing model updated
03:56:37   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:56:37   Target is now centered.
03:56:37   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:56:37   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:56:37   Switching from SR to R filter for imaging
03:56:37   Focus change of 270 steps required
03:56:41   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:56:56   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.729 Y=608
03:56:56 **No stars at all found in guider image
03:56:56 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:57:10   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.953 Y=608.1343
03:57:10   (guide star SNR=62.0 X=1326 Y=608)
03:57:10   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
03:57:15 **No stars at all found in guider image
03:57:15 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
03:57:15 **Autoguiding failed.
