This is ACP version 8.2 (build 7, V8.2 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
07:45:02 This is AcquireScheduler V8.2.5
07:45:02 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:45:02   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:45:02 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:45:04 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.2.10
07:45:04 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:45:04 User actions detected.
07:45:04 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:45:04 Dome is MaxDome
07:45:04 MaxIm DL is version 6.21
07:45:04 Imager is QSI Universal
07:45:04 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:45:04 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20210205@072428 UTC
07:45:04 Imager readout modes:
07:45:04   0 is Image Quality
07:45:04 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:45:04 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
07:45:04 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:45:04 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:45:09 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.32 V = 0.32
07:45:09 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 17.8 V = 13.4
07:45:09 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:45:09 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:45:09 ACPS Observation 3C_279(1 of 1)
07:45:09   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_OAR_AUTO_ver1895, Plan 3C_279)
07:45:09   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:45:09 Pointing updates are enabled
07:45:09   Start slew to 3C_279...
07:45:11   (wait for slew to complete)
07:46:23   (slew complete)
07:46:23   Calling TargetStart user action.
07:46:23     [flip check:  Tn=460s HAc=-11697s GW=T HAz=-11237s DWz=T WF=no]
07:46:23   Updating pointing...
07:46:23   (taking 10 sec. exposure, V filter, binning = 4)
07:46:23   (using Image Quality readout mode)
07:46:24   (starting exposure)
07:46:35   (exposure complete)
07:46:41   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
07:46:42   Image finished
07:46:42   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:46:42   17 image stars found
07:46:42   38 catalog stars found
07:46:43   Solved! 15 stars matched.
07:46:43   Average residual is 0.45 arcsec.
07:46:43   Pointing error is 1.168 arcmin @ angle 181.57
07:46:43   True focal length is 3458.5 mm.
07:46:43   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 1.29 V = 1.29
07:46:43   True image center (J2000): 12h 56m 11.0s   -05° 48' 32.08"
07:46:43   Imager sky position angle is 2.3 deg.
07:46:43   [sync] pointing model updated
07:46:43   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
07:46:43   Target is now centered.
07:46:43   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:46:44   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
07:46:44   Switching from V to R filter for imaging
07:46:44   Focus change of -47 steps required
07:46:47   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:46:55 **No stars at all found in guider image
07:46:55 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:47:08 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
07:47:08 **Autoguiding failed.
