03:28:23 This is AcquireScheduler V8.2.8
03:28:23 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:28:23   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:28:23 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:28:24 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
03:28:24 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:28:24 User actions detected.
03:28:24 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:28:24 Dome is MaxDome
03:28:25 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
03:28:25 Imager is ASCOM
03:28:25 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:28:25 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20220409@032522 UTC
03:28:25 Imager readout modes:
03:28:25   0 is Fast
03:28:25   1 is Normal
03:28:25 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:28:25 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
03:28:25 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
03:28:25 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:28:30 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
03:28:30 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
03:28:30 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:28:30 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:28:30 ACPS Observation U_Leo(1 of 1)
03:28:30   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver2706, Plan U_Leo)
03:28:30   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:28:30 Pointing updates are enabled

03:29:14   Updating pointing...
03:29:14   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 2)
03:29:14   (using Fast readout mode)
03:29:14   (starting [RBI] + exposure)
03:29:28   (exposure complete)
03:29:31   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:29:32   Image finished
03:29:33   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:29:36   323 image stars found
03:29:36   146 catalog stars found
03:29:37 ** Failed to solve plate, possibly due to input plate scale being too far off.
03:29:37   Start slew to offset...
03:29:38   (wait for slew to complete)

03:30:10   193 image stars found
03:30:10   135 catalog stars found
03:30:18 ** No matching stars found. Check your estimated center-point RA/Dec, and your image scaling and quality.
03:30:18   Start slew to U_Leo...
03:30:20   (wait for slew to complete)
03:30:30   (slew complete)
03:30:30   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:30:30   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:30:30   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
03:30:30   Focus change of 290 steps required
03:30:39   (take guider image at initial interval 10 sec)
03:30:53 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:31:06   (guide star SNR=3.2 X=657 Y=458)
03:31:06   (first exposure estimate 9.26 sec)
03:31:19 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
03:31:19 **Autoguiding failed.
