Licensed to Arne Henden
06:06:12 This is AcquireScheduler V8.2.8
06:06:12 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:06:12   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:06:12 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:06:13 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
06:06:14 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:06:14 User actions detected.
06:06:14 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:06:14 Dome is MaxDome
06:06:14 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
06:06:14 Imager is ASCOM
06:06:14 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:06:15 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20220416@055604 UTC
06:06:15 Imager readout modes:
06:06:15   0 is Fast
06:06:15   1 is Normal
06:06:15 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:06:15 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
06:06:15 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
06:06:15 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:06:20 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
06:06:20 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
06:06:20 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:06:20 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:06:20 ACPS Observation IX_Dra(1 of 1)
06:06:20   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P153_SFY_AUTO_ver2706, Plan IX_Dra)
06:06:20   (turning on sidereal tracking)
06:06:20 Pointing updates are enabled
06:06:20   Start slew to IX_Dra...
06:06:21   (wait for slew to complete)
06:07:12   (slew complete)

06:07:12   Updating pointing...
06:07:12   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
06:07:12   Focus change of 20 steps required
06:07:16   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 2)
06:07:16   (using Fast readout mode)
06:07:16   (starting [RBI] + exposure)
06:07:30   (exposure complete)
06:07:33   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
06:07:34   Image finished
06:07:35   Plate-solve pointing image.
06:07:38   1 image stars found
06:07:38   299 catalog stars found
06:07:39 ** There are too few catalog stars in the area for reliable matching. Increase the catalog star faint limit, or use a more dense catalog.
06:07:39   Start slew to offset...
06:07:40   (wait for slew to complete)
06:07:51   (slew complete)
06:07:51   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 2)

06:08:10   Image finished
06:08:10   Plate-solve pointing image.
06:08:13 No image stars found, failed.
06:08:13   Start slew to IX_Dra...
06:08:15   (wait for slew to complete)
06:08:25   (slew complete)
06:08:25   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:08:25   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
06:08:25   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
06:08:25   Focus change of 290 steps required
06:08:34   (take guider image at initial interval 10 sec)
06:08:49 **No stars at all found in guider image
06:08:49 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:09:02 **No stars at all found in guider image
06:09:02 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
06:09:02 **Autoguiding failed.
