05:22:59 This is AcquireScheduler V8.2.8
05:22:59 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:22:59   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:22:59 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:23:00 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
05:23:00 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:23:00 User actions detected.
05:23:00 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:23:00 Dome is MaxDome
05:23:00 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
05:23:00 Imager is ASCOM
05:23:00 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:23:00 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220407@052206 UTC
05:23:00 Imager readout modes:
05:23:00   0 is Fast
05:23:00   1 is Normal
05:23:00 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:23:00 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
05:23:00 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
05:23:00 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:23:05 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
05:23:05 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
05:23:05 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:23:05 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:23:05 ACPS Observation IR_Com(1 of 1)
05:23:05   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver2706, Plan IR_Com)

05:24:44   Image finished
05:24:44   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:24:48   469 image stars found
05:24:49   146 catalog stars found
05:24:49 ** Failed to solve plate, possibly due to input plate scale being too far off.

05:25:36   Switching from SR to R filter for imaging
05:25:36   Focus change of 270 steps required
05:25:47   (take guider image at initial interval 10 sec)
05:26:00   (guide star SNR=3.3 X=509 Y=489)

05:26:13 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
05:26:13 **Autoguiding failed.
