12:27:14 This is AcquireScheduler V8.2.8
12:27:14 Custom image file path/names are in use

12:27:14 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:27:15 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
12:27:15 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:27:15 User actions detected.
12:27:15 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:27:15 Dome is MaxDome
12:27:16 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
12:27:16 Imager is ASCOM
12:27:16 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:27:16 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20220316@122648 UTC
12:27:16 Imager readout modes:
12:27:16   0 is Fast
12:27:16   1 is Normal
12:27:16 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:27:16 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
12:27:16 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
12:27:16 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:27:21 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
12:27:21 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
12:27:21 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:27:21 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
12:27:21 ACPS Observation HS1340+1524(1 of 1)
12:27:21   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver2706, Plan HS1340+1524)
12:27:21   (turning on sidereal tracking)
12:27:21 Pointing updates are enabled
12:27:21   Start slew to HS1340+1524...
12:27:23   (wait for slew to complete)
12:28:27   (slew complete)

12:28:28   Switching from R to SR filter for pointing exposure
12:28:28   Focus change of -270 steps required
12:28:40   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 2)
12:28:40   (using Fast readout mode)
12:28:40   (starting [RBI] + exposure)
12:28:55   (exposure complete)
12:28:57   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
12:28:59   Image finished
12:28:59   Plate-solve pointing image.
12:29:03   143 image stars found
12:29:04   109 catalog stars found
12:29:05   Solved! 9 stars matched.
12:29:05   Average residual is 0.14 arcsec.
12:29:05   Pointing error is 2.501 arcmin @ angle 74.31
12:29:05   True focal length is 3487.6 mm.
12:29:05   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.44 V = 0.44
12:29:05   True image center (J2000): 13h 43m 33.4s   15° 09' 56.56"
12:29:05   Imager sky position angle is 183.1 deg.
12:29:06   [sync] pointing model updated
12:29:06   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
12:29:06   Target is now centered.
12:29:06   (high cadence option, no web previews)
12:29:06   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
12:29:06   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
12:29:06   Focus change of 290 steps required
12:29:16   (take guider image at initial interval 10 sec)
12:29:29   (guide star SNR=3.4 X=214 Y=136)
12:29:29   (first exposure estimate 8.9 sec)
12:29:42   (guide star SNR=2.8 X=212 Y=135)
12:29:42   (final exposure for guiding 9.53 sec)
12:29:55 **Guider unexpectedly stopped while waiting for measurement
12:29:56   (take guider image at initial interval 9.53 sec)
12:30:08   (guide star SNR=3.1 X=212 Y=135)
12:30:08   (first exposure estimate 9.12 sec)
12:30:20 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
12:30:20 **Autoguiding failed.
