08:53:39 This is AcquireScheduler V8.2.8
08:53:39 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:53:39   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:53:39 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:53:40 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
08:53:40 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:53:40 User actions detected.
08:53:40 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:53:40 Dome is MaxDome
08:53:40 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
08:53:40 Imager is ASCOM
08:53:40 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:53:40 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220205@084257 UTC
08:53:40 Imager readout modes:
08:53:40   0 is Fast
08:53:40   1 is Normal
08:53:40 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:53:40 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
08:53:40 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
08:53:40 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:53:46 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
08:53:46 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
08:53:46 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:53:46 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:53:46 ACPS Observation OI_158(1 of 1)
08:53:46   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver2706, Plan OI_158)
08:53:46   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:53:46 Pointing updates are enabled
08:53:46   Start slew to OI_158...
08:53:47   (wait for slew to complete)
08:54:07   (slew complete)
08:54:07   Calling TargetStart user action.

08:54:07   Updating pointing...
08:54:07   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:54:07   Focus change of -290 steps required
08:54:20   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 2)
08:54:20   (using Fast readout mode)
08:54:20   (starting [RBI] + exposure)
08:54:34   (exposure complete)
08:54:36   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
08:54:38   Image finished
08:54:39   Plate-solve pointing image.
08:54:42   774 image stars found
08:54:42   431 catalog stars found
08:54:44   Solved! 92 stars matched.
08:54:44   Average residual is 0.17 arcsec.
08:54:44   Pointing error is 2.989 arcmin @ angle 279.01
08:54:44   True focal length is 3467.2 mm.
08:54:44   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.45 V = 0.45
08:54:44   True image center (J2000): 07h 37m 55.0s   17° 42' 47.07"
08:54:44   Imager sky position angle is 182.8 deg.
08:54:44   [sync] pointing model updated
08:54:44   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
08:54:44   Target is now centered.
08:54:44   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:54:44   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:54:44   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
08:54:44   Focus change of 290 steps required
08:54:53   (take guider image at initial interval 10 sec)
08:55:06   (guide star SNR=10.7 X=153 Y=345)
08:55:06   (first exposure estimate 2.81 sec)
08:55:12 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:55:12 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:55:13 **Autoguiding failed.
