10:46:51 This is AcquireScheduler V8.2.8
10:46:51 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:46:51   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:46:51 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:46:52 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
10:46:52 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:46:52 User actions detected.
10:46:52 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:46:52 Dome is MaxDome
10:46:53 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
10:46:53 Imager is ASCOM
10:46:53 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:46:53 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20220205@103928 UTC
10:46:53 Imager readout modes:
10:46:53   0 is Fast
10:46:53   1 is Normal
10:46:53 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:46:53 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
10:46:53 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
10:46:53 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:46:58 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
10:46:58 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
10:46:58 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:46:58 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:46:58 ACPS Observation 3C_279(1 of 1)
10:46:58   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver2706, Plan 3C_279)

10:47:25   Switching from SU to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:47:25   No focus change required
10:47:30   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 2)
10:47:30   (using Fast readout mode)
10:47:30   (starting [RBI] + exposure)

10:47:47   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:47:49   Image finished
10:47:49   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:47:53   187 image stars found
10:47:54   141 catalog stars found
10:48:04 ** No matching stars found. Check your estimated center-point RA/Dec, and your image scaling and quality.

10:48:58   Switching from SR to SU filter for imaging
10:48:58   No focus change required
10:49:00   (take guider image at initial interval 10 sec)
10:49:13 **No stars at all found in guider image
10:49:13 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:49:25 **No stars at all found in guider image
