Licensed to Arne Henden
03:39:36 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
03:39:36 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:39:36   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:39:36 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:39:37 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:39:37 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:39:37 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:39:37 Dome is MaxDome
03:39:37 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:39:37 Imager is ASCOM
03:39:37 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:39:37 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250527@033810 UTC
03:39:37 Imager readout modes:
03:39:37   0 is Fast
03:39:37   1 is Normal
03:39:37 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:39:37 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:39:37 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
03:39:37 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:39:37 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:39:44 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:39:44 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:39:44 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:39:44 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:39:44 ==== Starting target AT_2016blu ====
03:39:44 ACPS Observation AT_2016blu(1 of 1)
03:39:44   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P592_RTH_AUTO_ver5128, Plan AT_2016blu)
03:39:44   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:39:45 Pointing updates are enabled
03:39:45 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:39:45   Start slew to AT_2016blu...
03:39:46   (wait for slew to complete)
03:40:36   (slew complete)
03:40:36     [flip check:  Tn=540s HAc=990s GW=T HAz=1530s DWz=T WF=no]
03:40:36   Updating pointing...
03:40:36   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:40:36   Focus change of -290 steps required
03:40:40   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:40:40   (using Fast readout mode)
03:40:40   (starting exposure)
03:41:02   (exposure complete)
03:41:04   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:41:04   Camera temp (deg.C) = -7.8
03:41:06   Focuser position = 3324
03:41:06   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 23.1
03:41:06   Image finished
03:41:06   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:41:06   207 image stars found
03:41:06   102 catalog stars found
03:41:08   Solved! 34 stars matched.
03:41:08   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
03:41:08   Pointing error is 1.579 arcmin @ angle 72.90
03:41:08   True focal length is 3470.4 mm.
03:41:08   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:41:08   True image center (J2000): 12h 35m 59.1s   27° 56' 23.35"
03:41:08   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
03:41:08   [sync] pointing model updated
03:41:08   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:41:08   Target is now centered.
03:41:08   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:41:08   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:41:08   Switching from SR to R filter for imaging
03:41:08   Focus change of 270 steps required
03:41:12   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:41:26   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1027.035 Y=945.0498
03:41:27 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:41:27 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:41:40   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.485 Y=608.0745
03:41:40 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:41:40 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
03:41:40 **Autoguiding failed.
