06:16:57 This is AcquireScheduler V8.2.5
06:16:57 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:16:57   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:16:57 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:16:58 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.2.10
06:16:58 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:16:58 User actions detected.
06:16:58 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:16:58 Dome is MaxDome
06:16:59 MaxIm DL is version 6.21
06:16:59 Imager is QSI Universal
06:16:59 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:16:59 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20210205@061407 UTC
06:16:59 Imager readout modes:
06:16:59   0 is Image Quality
06:16:59 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:16:59 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
06:16:59 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:16:59 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:17:04 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.32 V = 0.32
06:17:04 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 17.8 V = 13.4
06:17:04 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:17:04 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:17:04 ACPS Observation PKS_1222+216(1 of 1)
06:17:04   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_OAR_AUTO_ver1895, Plan PKS_1222+216)
06:17:04   (turning on sidereal tracking)
06:17:04 Pointing updates are enabled
06:17:04   Start slew to PKS_1222+216...
06:17:06   (wait for slew to complete)
06:18:27   (slew complete)
06:18:27   Calling TargetStart user action.

06:18:27   Updating pointing...
06:18:27   (taking 10 sec. exposure, V filter, binning = 4)
06:18:27   (using Image Quality readout mode)
06:18:29   (starting exposure)
06:18:39   (exposure complete)
06:18:46   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
06:18:47   Image finished
06:18:47   Plate-solve pointing image.
06:18:47   11 image stars found
06:18:47   43 catalog stars found
06:18:49   Solved! 11 stars matched.
06:18:49   Average residual is 0.46 arcsec.
06:18:49   Pointing error is 0.987 arcmin @ angle 183.20
06:18:49   True focal length is 3463.8 mm.
06:18:49   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 1.28 V = 1.29
06:18:49   True image center (J2000): 12h 24m 54.2s   21° 21' 46.86"
06:18:49   Imager sky position angle is 2.3 deg.
06:18:49   [sync] pointing model updated
06:18:49   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
06:18:49   Target is now centered.
06:18:49   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:18:49   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
06:18:49   Switching from V to R filter for imaging
06:18:49   Focus change of -47 steps required
06:18:52   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:19:00 **No stars at all found in guider image
06:19:00 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:19:13   (guide star SNR=3.4 X=210 Y=230)
06:19:13   (first exposure estimate 8.75 sec)
06:19:24 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
06:19:24 **Autoguiding failed.
