This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
12:23:10 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
12:23:10 Custom image file path/names are in use
12:23:10   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
12:23:10 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:23:11 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
12:23:11 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:23:11 User actions detected.
12:23:11 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:23:11 Dome is MaxDome
12:23:11 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:23:11 Imager is ASCOM
12:23:11 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:23:11 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20221222@122236 UTC
12:23:11 Imager readout modes:
12:23:11   0 is Fast
12:23:11   1 is Normal
12:23:11 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:23:11 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:23:11 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:23:11 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:23:11 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:23:11 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:23:11 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:23:11 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
12:23:11 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
12:23:11 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
12:23:11 ==== Starting target U_Leo ====
12:23:11 ACPS Observation U_Leo(1 of 1)
12:23:11   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_SFY_AUTO_ver2706, Plan U_Leo)
12:23:11   (turning on sidereal tracking)
12:23:11 Pointing updates are enabled
12:23:11 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
12:23:11   (wait for slew to complete)
12:23:16   (slew complete)
12:23:16   Start slew to U_Leo...
12:23:17   (wait for slew to complete)
12:23:57   (slew complete)
12:23:57   Calling TargetStart user action.

12:23:57   Updating pointing...
12:23:57   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
12:23:57   Focus change of -290 steps required
12:24:01   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
12:24:01   (using Fast readout mode)
12:24:01   (starting exposure)
12:24:26   (exposure complete)
12:24:28   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
12:24:29   Image finished
12:24:29   Plate-solve pointing image.
12:24:29   184 image stars found
12:24:30   150 catalog stars found
12:24:31   Solved! 46 stars matched.
12:24:31   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
12:24:31   Pointing error is 5.309 arcmin @ angle 280.98
12:24:31   True focal length is 3466.6 mm.
12:24:31   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
12:24:31   True image center (J2000): 10h 23m 42.3s   14° 01' 26.63"
12:24:31   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
12:24:31   [sync] pointing model updated
12:24:31   Re-slew to target.
12:24:31   Start slew to U_Leo...
12:24:33   (wait for slew to complete)
12:24:43   (slew complete)
12:24:43   Target is now centered.
12:24:43   (high cadence option, no web previews)
12:24:43   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
12:24:43   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
12:24:43   Focus change of 290 steps required
12:24:46   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
12:25:01 **No stars at all found in guider image
12:25:01 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
12:25:14   (guide star SNR=3.3 X=876 Y=883)
12:25:15   (first exposure estimate 9.1 sec)
12:25:27 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
12:25:27 **Autoguiding failed.
