Licensed to Arne Henden
03:55:05 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
03:55:05 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:55:05   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:55:05 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:55:06 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:55:06 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:55:06 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:55:06 Dome is MaxDome
03:55:06 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:55:06 Imager is ASCOM
03:55:06 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:55:06 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250604@035235 UTC
03:55:07 Imager readout modes:
03:55:07   0 is Fast
03:55:07   1 is Normal
03:55:07 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:55:07 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:55:07 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
03:55:07 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:55:07 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:55:14 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:55:14 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:55:14 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:55:14 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:55:14 ==== Starting target HS1340+1524 ====
03:55:14 ACPS Observation HS1340+1524(1 of 1)
03:55:14   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan HS1340+1524)
03:55:14   (turning on sidereal tracking)

03:55:41   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:55:41   Focus change of 20 steps required
03:55:44   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:55:44   (using Fast readout mode)
03:55:44   (starting exposure)
03:55:59   (exposure complete)
03:56:01   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:56:01   Camera temp (deg.C) = -6.6
03:56:03   Focuser position = 3347
03:56:03   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 23.7
03:56:03   Image finished
03:56:03   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:56:03   226 image stars found
03:56:03   113 catalog stars found
03:56:04   Solved! 33 stars matched.
03:56:04   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
03:56:04   Pointing error is 2.359 arcmin @ angle 80.49
03:56:04   True focal length is 3471.6 mm.
03:56:04   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:56:04   True image center (J2000): 13h 43m 33.0s   15° 09' 39.39"
03:56:04   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
03:56:05   [sync] pointing model updated
03:56:05   Re-slew to target.
03:56:05   Start slew to HS1340+1524...
03:56:06   (wait for slew to complete)
03:56:20   (slew complete)
03:56:20   Target is now centered.
03:56:20   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:56:20   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:56:20   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
03:56:20   Focus change of 290 steps required
03:56:24   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:56:38   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=243 Y=284
03:56:38 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:56:38 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:56:51   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=913.0226 Y=459.0055
03:56:52 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:56:52 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
03:56:52 **Autoguiding failed.
