Licensed to Arne Henden
09:27:03 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
09:27:03 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:27:03   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:27:03 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:27:04 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
09:27:04 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:27:04 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:27:04 Dome is MaxDome
09:27:04 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:27:04 Imager is ASCOM
09:27:04 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:27:04 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250605@092628 UTC
09:27:04 Imager readout modes:
09:27:04   0 is Fast
09:27:04   1 is Normal
09:27:04 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:27:04 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:27:04 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
09:27:04 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:27:04 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:27:11 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:27:11 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:27:11 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:27:11 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:27:11 ==== Starting target V884_Her ====
09:27:11 ACPS Observation V884_Her(1 of 1)
09:27:11   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver5104, Plan V884_Her)
09:27:11   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:27:12 Pointing updates are enabled
09:27:12 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
09:27:12   Start slew to V884_Her...
09:27:13   (wait for slew to complete)
09:28:39   (slew complete)

09:28:39   Updating pointing...
09:28:39   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
09:28:39   Focus change of -320 steps required
09:28:42   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:28:42   (using Fast readout mode)
09:28:42   (starting exposure)
09:29:05   (exposure complete)
09:29:07   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
09:29:07   Camera temp (deg.C) = -9
09:29:09   Focuser position = 3376
09:29:09   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 21.2
09:29:09   Image finished
09:29:09   Plate-solve pointing image.
09:29:10   1172 image stars found
09:29:10   281 catalog stars found
09:29:11   Solved! 117 stars matched.
09:29:11   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
09:29:11   Pointing error is 1.051 arcmin @ angle 65.77
09:29:11   True focal length is 3469.0 mm.
09:29:11   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
09:29:11   True image center (J2000): 18h 02m 10.6s   18° 05' 09.86"
09:29:11   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
09:29:11   [sync] pointing model updated
09:29:11   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:29:11   Target is now centered.
09:29:11   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:29:11   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:29:11   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
09:29:11   Focus change of 290 steps required
09:29:15   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:29:29   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.098 Y=608.0245
09:29:30 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:29:30 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:29:43   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=913.7461 Y=459.2379
09:29:43 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:29:44 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
09:29:44 **Autoguiding failed.
