Licensed to Arne Henden
10:15:56 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
10:15:56 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:15:56   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:15:56 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:15:57 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:15:57 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:15:57 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:15:57 Dome is MaxDome
10:15:57 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:15:57 Imager is ASCOM
10:15:57 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:15:57 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250610@101354 UTC
10:15:57 Imager readout modes:
10:15:57   0 is Fast
10:15:57   1 is Normal
10:15:57 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:15:57 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:15:57 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:15:57 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:15:57 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:16:05 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:16:05 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:16:05 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:16:05 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:16:05 ==== Starting target B0133+47 ====
10:16:05 ACPS Observation B0133+47(1 of 1)
10:16:05   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver5104, Plan B0133+47)
10:16:05   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:16:05 Pointing updates are enabled
10:16:05 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:16:05   Start slew to B0133+47...
10:16:07   (wait for slew to complete)
10:17:54   (slew complete)

10:17:54   Updating pointing...
10:17:54   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:17:54   Focus change of -320 steps required
10:17:58   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:17:58   (using Fast readout mode)
10:17:58   (starting exposure)
10:18:21   (exposure complete)
10:18:24   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:18:24   Camera temp (deg.C) = -9.5
10:18:25   Focuser position = 3359
10:18:25   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 20
10:18:25   Image finished
10:18:25   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:18:26   426 image stars found
10:18:26   390 catalog stars found
10:18:28   Solved! 147 stars matched.
10:18:28   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
10:18:28   Pointing error is 1.648 arcmin @ angle 137.49
10:18:28   True focal length is 3468.7 mm.
10:18:28   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
10:18:28   True image center (J2000): 01h 37m 05.2s   47° 50' 16.19"
10:18:28   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
10:18:28   [sync] pointing model updated
10:18:28   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:18:28   Target is now centered.
10:18:28   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:18:28   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
10:18:28   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
10:18:28   Focus change of 290 steps required
10:18:32   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:18:46   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=944 Y=802
10:18:47 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:18:47 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:19:00   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=443.9567 Y=952.0242
10:19:01   (guide star SNR=17.8 X=444 Y=952)
10:19:01   (first exposure estimate 1.69 sec)
10:19:06 **No stars at all found in guider image
10:19:06 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
10:19:06 **Autoguiding failed.
