Licensed to Arne Henden
07:38:14 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
07:38:14 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:38:14   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:38:14 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:38:15 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:38:15 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:38:15 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:38:15 Dome is MaxDome
07:38:15 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:38:15 Imager is ASCOM
07:38:15 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:38:15 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250605@073738 UTC
07:38:16 Imager readout modes:
07:38:16   0 is Fast
07:38:16   1 is Normal
07:38:16 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:38:16 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:38:16 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
07:38:16 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:38:16 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:38:23 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:38:23 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:38:23 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:38:23 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:38:23 ==== Starting target X_Ser ====
07:38:23 ACPS Observation X_Ser(1 of 1)
07:38:23   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver5104, Plan X_Ser)
07:38:23   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:38:23 Pointing updates are enabled
07:38:23 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
07:38:23   Start slew to X_Ser...
07:38:25   (wait for slew to complete)
07:39:04   (slew complete)
07:39:04     [flip check:  Tn=480s HAc=4056s GW=T HAz=4536s DWz=T WF=no]
07:39:04   Updating pointing...
07:39:04   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
07:39:04   Focus change of -50 steps required
07:39:06   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:39:06   (using Fast readout mode)
07:39:06   (starting exposure)
07:39:25   (exposure complete)
07:39:28   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
07:39:28   Camera temp (deg.C) = -7.8
07:39:30   Focuser position = 3338
07:39:30   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 22.4
07:39:30   Image finished
07:39:30   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:39:30   482 image stars found
07:39:30   193 catalog stars found
07:39:31   Solved! 71 stars matched.
07:39:31   Average residual is 0.29 arcsec.
07:39:31   Pointing error is 0.867 arcmin @ angle 84.88
07:39:31   True focal length is 3469.9 mm.
07:39:31   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
07:39:31   True image center (J2000): 16h 19m 21.1s   -02° 29' 24.95"
07:39:31   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
07:39:31   [sync] pointing model updated
07:39:31   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
07:39:31   Target is now centered.
07:39:31   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:39:32   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
07:39:32   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
07:39:32   Focus change of 290 steps required
07:39:35   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:39:49   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.441 Y=608.2228
07:39:49 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:39:50 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:40:02   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.943 Y=608.0983
07:40:03   (guide star SNR=28.8 X=1326 Y=608)
07:40:03   (first exposure estimate 1.04 sec)
07:40:08 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:40:08 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
07:40:08 **Autoguiding failed.
