Licensed to Arne Henden
10:23:03 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
10:23:03 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:23:03   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:23:03 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:23:04 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:23:04 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:23:04 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:23:04 Dome is MaxDome
10:23:04 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:23:04 Imager is ASCOM
10:23:04 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:23:04 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250610@102153 UTC
10:23:04 Imager readout modes:
10:23:04   0 is Fast
10:23:04   1 is Normal
10:23:04 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:23:04 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:23:04 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:23:04 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:23:04 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:23:12 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:23:12 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:23:12 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:23:12 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:23:12 ==== Starting target M56_V6 ====
10:23:12 ACPS Observation M56_V6(1 of 1)
10:23:12   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HJZ_AUTO_ver5104, Plan M56_V6)
10:23:12   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:23:12 Pointing updates are enabled
10:23:12 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:23:12   Start slew to M56_V6...
10:23:14   (wait for slew to complete)
10:23:43   (slew complete)

10:23:43   Updating pointing...
10:23:43   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:23:43   Focus change of -320 steps required
10:23:47   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:23:47   (using Fast readout mode)
10:23:47   (starting exposure)
10:24:10   (exposure complete)
10:24:12   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:24:12   Camera temp (deg.C) = -9.6
10:24:14   Focuser position = 3359
10:24:14   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 19.9
10:24:14   Image finished
10:24:14   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:24:15   1446 image stars found
10:24:15   357 catalog stars found
10:24:16   Solved! 104 stars matched.
10:24:16   Average residual is 0.26 arcsec.
10:24:16   Pointing error is 2.812 arcmin @ angle 137.63
10:24:16   True focal length is 3467.7 mm.
10:24:16   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
10:24:16   True image center (J2000): 19h 16m 44.3s   30° 08' 59.53"
10:24:16   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
10:24:16   [sync] pointing model updated
10:24:16   Re-slew to target.
10:24:16   Start slew to M56_V6...
10:24:18   (wait for slew to complete)
10:24:33   (slew complete)
10:24:33   Target is now centered.
10:24:33   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:24:33   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
10:24:33   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
10:24:33   Focus change of 320 steps required
10:24:37   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:24:50   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=708.4659 Y=457.0133
10:24:51 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:24:51 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:25:04   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=443.7781 Y=952.0082
10:25:04 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:25:05 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
10:25:05 **Autoguiding failed.
