This is ACP version 8.1 (build 2, Product Version 8.1.1)
Licensed to Arne Henden
03:31:21 Turning on Tracking for AP mounts
03:31:24 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
03:31:26 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:31:26 User actions detected.
03:31:26 ** Images will always be calibrated and raw images
03:31:26 ** will contain full FITS info (for AAVSONet)
03:31:26 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
03:31:26 Dome is MaxDome
03:31:26 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
03:31:26 Imager is QSI Universal
03:31:26 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:31:26 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20181103@024622 UTC
03:31:26 Imager readout modes:
03:31:26   0 is Image Quality
03:31:26 Autoguiding is disabled
03:31:26 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:31:36 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
03:31:36 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
03:31:36 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:31:36 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:31:36 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
03:31:36 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
03:31:36 ReadLine: Filter to use:
03:31:53 -> 12 "V"
03:31:53 Autofocus through V
03:31:55   Search 15 deg-square area for possible stars
03:31:56   Looking for stars between mags 6 and 9
03:31:58   Found mag 6.0 star, GSC 3241-2326; nothing within 289 arcsec.
03:32:00   Star J2000 coordinates RA=23:57:04 Dec=42° 39' 30"
03:32:00   Using star at mag 6.0. Slew to star.

03:32:29   39 image stars found
03:32:29   130 catalog stars found
03:32:30 ** No matching stars found. Check your estimated center-point RA/Dec, and your image scaling and quality.
03:32:34   Start slew to offset...

03:33:01 ** No matching stars found. Check your estimated center-point RA/Dec, and your image scaling and quality.
03:33:01   Attempting all-sky plate solution (time-consuming)...
03:33:22   Failed: All-sky solution failed: 
03:33:27   Astrometry.net may be offline or image quality is too poor.
03:33:27   Start slew to AutoFocus...

03:33:35   (slew complete)
03:33:35   (AF will use Image Quality readout mode)
