Licensed to Arne Henden
04:17:08 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
04:17:08 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:17:08   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:17:08 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:17:09 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
04:17:09 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:17:09 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:17:09 Dome is MaxDome
04:17:09 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:17:09 Imager is ASCOM
04:17:09 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:17:10 Selecting filter Halpha from previous ACP run at 20250524@114836 UTC
04:17:10 Imager readout modes:
04:17:10   0 is Fast
04:17:10   1 is Normal
04:17:10 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:17:10 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:17:10 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
04:17:10 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:17:10 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:17:10 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:17:10 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:17:10 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:17:10 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:17:10 ==== Starting target KN_Lyn ====
04:17:10 ACPS Observation KN_Lyn(1 of 1)
04:17:10   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver5104, Plan KN_Lyn)
04:17:10   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:17:10 Pointing updates are enabled
04:17:10 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:17:10   Start slew to KN_Lyn...
04:17:11   (wait for slew to complete)
04:18:52   (slew complete)
04:18:52     [flip check:  Tn=502s HAc=18579s GW=T HAz=19081s DWz=T WF=no]
04:18:52   Updating pointing...
04:18:52   Switching from Halpha to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:18:52   No focus change required
04:18:52   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:18:52   (using Fast readout mode)
04:18:52   (starting exposure)
04:19:19   (exposure complete)
04:19:22   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:19:22   Camera temp (deg.C) = -6.7
04:19:23   Focuser position = 0
04:19:23   Focuser temp (deg.C) = -999
04:19:23   Image finished
04:19:23   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:19:24   235 image stars found
04:19:24   252 catalog stars found
04:19:25   Solved! 80 stars matched.
04:19:25   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
04:19:25   Pointing error is 3.489 arcmin @ angle 44.51
04:19:25   True focal length is 3464.1 mm.
04:19:25   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
04:19:25   True image center (J2000): 08h 16m 51.0s   47° 53' 11.74"
04:19:25   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
04:19:42   [sync] pointing model updated
04:19:42   Re-slew to target.
04:19:42   Start slew to KN_Lyn...
04:19:44   (wait for slew to complete)
04:19:59   (slew complete)
04:19:59   Target is now centered.
04:19:59   (high cadence option, no web previews)
04:19:59   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
04:19:59   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
04:19:59   Focus change of 50 steps required
04:19:59   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:20:09   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1359 Y=471
04:20:09 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:20:10 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
04:20:22   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.885 Y=608.0263
04:20:23   (guide star SNR=16.5 X=1326 Y=608)
04:20:23   (first exposure estimate 1.81 sec)
04:20:29 **No stars at all found in guider image
04:20:30 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
04:20:30 **Autoguiding failed.
