This is ACP version 8.2 (build 7, V8.2 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
04:44:50 Turning on Tracking for AP mounts
04:44:52 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.2.10
04:44:52 User actions detected.
04:44:52 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:44:52 Dome is MaxDome
04:44:52 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
04:44:52 Imager is ASCOM
04:44:52 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:44:52 Selecting filter sdssu from previous ACP run at 20210225@131448 UTC
04:44:52 Imager readout modes:
04:44:52   0 is Fast
04:44:52   1 is Normal
04:44:53 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:44:53 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
04:44:53 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:44:53 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:44:58 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
04:44:58 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
04:44:58 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:44:58 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:44:58 ReadLine: Filter to use:
04:45:10 -> 12 "sdssr"
04:45:10 Autofocus through sdssr
04:45:12   Search 15 deg-square area for possible stars
04:45:14   Looking for stars between mags 6 and 9
04:45:16   Found mag 6.0 star, GSC 5347-0907; nothing within 1337 arcsec.
04:45:16   Star J2000 coordinates RA=05:52:08 Dec=-09° 02' 30"
04:45:16   Using star at mag 6.0. Slew to star.
04:45:16   Start slew to AutoFocus...
04:45:18   (wait for slew to complete)
04:45:28   (slew complete)
04:45:28   Updating pointing...
04:45:28   Switching from sdssu to sdssi filter for pointing exposure
04:45:28   No focus change required
04:45:28   (taking 10 sec. exposure, sdssi filter, binning = 2)
04:45:28   (using Fast readout mode)
04:45:34   (starting exposure)
04:45:51   (exposure complete)
04:45:54   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:45:56   Image finished
04:45:56   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:46:00   319 image stars found
04:46:01   154 catalog stars found
04:46:01 ** Failed to solve plate, possibly due to input plate scale being too far off.
04:46:01   Start slew to offset...
04:46:02   (wait for slew to complete)
04:46:12   (slew complete)
04:46:12   (taking 10 sec. exposure, sdssi filter, binning = 2)
04:46:12   (using Fast readout mode)
04:46:13   (starting exposure)
04:46:32   (exposure complete)
04:46:34   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:46:36   Image finished
04:46:36   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:46:40   544 image stars found
04:46:41   286 catalog stars found
04:46:42   Solved! 40 stars matched.
04:46:42   Average residual is 0.2 arcsec.
04:46:42   Pointing error is 1.454 arcmin @ angle 278.08
04:46:42   True focal length is 3388.6 mm.
04:46:42   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.46 V = 0.46
04:46:42   True image center (J2000): 05h 52m 01.9s   -07° 50' 40.08"
04:46:42   Imager sky position angle is 179.2 deg.
04:47:00   [sync] pointing model updated
04:47:00   Re-slew to target.
04:47:00   Start slew to AutoFocus...
04:47:01   (wait for slew to complete)
04:47:11   (slew complete)
04:47:11   Target is now centered.
04:47:11   (AF will use Fast readout mode)
04:47:11   Starting Autofocus...
04:47:37 **AutoFocus failed. Check FocusMax log for details.
04:47:37   Slewing back to original position...
04:47:37   Start slew to AF return...
04:47:39   (wait for slew to complete)
04:47:54   (slew complete)
04:47:54   Autofocus finished.
04:47:54 ***AutoFocus failed.
