Licensed to Arne Henden
06:39:00 This is AcquireScheduler V8.2.5
06:39:00 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:39:00   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:39:00 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:39:01 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.2.10
06:39:01 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:39:01 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:39:01 Dome is MaxDome
06:39:02 MaxIm DL is version 6.21
06:39:02 Imager is QSI Universal
06:39:02 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:39:02 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20201011@023521 UTC
06:39:02 Imager readout modes:
06:39:02   0 is Image Quality
06:39:02 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:39:02 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
06:39:02 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:39:02 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:39:07 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.32 V = 0.32
06:39:07 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 17.8 V = 13.4
06:39:07 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:39:07 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:39:07 ACPS Observation M 77(1 of 1)
06:39:07   (belongs to Project Messier, Plan M 77)
06:39:07   (turning on sidereal tracking)
06:39:07 Pointing updates are enabled
06:39:07   Start slew to M 77...
06:39:09   (wait for slew to complete)
06:39:28   (slew complete)
06:39:28     [flip check:  Tn=660s HAc=-6589s GW=T HAz=-5929s DWz=T WF=no]
06:39:28   Updating pointing...
06:39:29   (taking 10 sec. exposure, V filter, binning = 4)
06:39:29   (using Image Quality readout mode)
06:39:30   (starting exposure)
06:39:40   (exposure complete)
06:39:47   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
06:39:48   Image finished
06:39:48   Plate-solve pointing image.
06:39:48   33 image stars found
06:39:50   36 catalog stars found
06:39:51   Solved! 13 stars matched.
06:39:51   Average residual is 0.46 arcsec.
06:39:51   Pointing error is 0.152 arcmin @ angle 58.72
06:39:51   True focal length is 3460.8 mm.
06:39:51   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 1.29 V = 1.28
06:39:51   True image center (J2000): 02h 42m 42.5s   -00° 00' 55.26"
06:39:51   Imager sky position angle is 2.1 deg.
06:39:51   [sync] pointing model updated
06:39:51   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
06:39:51   Target is now centered.
06:39:51   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:39:51   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
06:39:51   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:39:59   (guide star SNR=2.7 X=183 Y=272)
06:40:00   (first exposure estimate 5.66 sec)
06:40:08   (guide star SNR=3.1 X=182 Y=270)
06:40:08   (final exposure for guiding 5.54 sec)
06:40:16   (guide star SNR=2.9 X=182 Y=269)
06:43:29   (take guider image at initial interval 5.54 sec)
06:43:37 **No stars at all found in guider image
06:43:37 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:43:49   (guide star SNR=4.3 X=646 Y=88)
06:43:50   (first exposure estimate 7.06 sec)
06:44:00 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:44:00 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
06:44:00 **Autoguiding failed.
