12:40:32 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
12:40:32 Custom image file path/names are in use
12:40:32   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
12:40:32 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:40:33 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
12:40:33 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:40:33 User actions detected.
12:40:33 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:40:33 Dome is MaxDome
12:40:33 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:40:33 Imager is ASCOM
12:40:33 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:40:33 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20230105@123138 UTC
12:40:33 Imager readout modes:
12:40:33   0 is Fast
12:40:33   1 is Normal
12:40:33 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:40:33 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:40:33 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:40:33 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:40:33 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:40:33 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:40:33 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:40:33 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
12:40:33 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
12:40:33 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
12:40:33 ==== Starting target NSV-6690 ====
12:40:33 ACPS Observation NSV-6690(1 of 1)
12:40:33   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P255_BPEC_AUTO_ver2890, Plan NSV-6690)
12:40:33   (turning on sidereal tracking)
12:40:33 Pointing updates are enabled
12:40:33 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
12:40:33   Start slew to NSV-6690...
12:40:35   (wait for slew to complete)
12:41:10   (slew complete)
12:41:10   Calling TargetStart user action.

12:41:10   Updating pointing...
12:41:10   Switching from R to SR filter for pointing exposure
12:41:10   Focus change of -270 steps required
12:41:14   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
12:41:14   (using Fast readout mode)
12:41:14   (starting exposure)
12:41:38   (exposure complete)
12:41:41   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
12:41:43   Image finished
12:41:43   Plate-solve pointing image.
12:41:43   240 image stars found
12:41:44   113 catalog stars found
12:41:45   Solved! 35 stars matched.
12:41:45   Average residual is 0.25 arcsec.
12:41:45   Pointing error is 0.961 arcmin @ angle 61.21
12:41:45   True focal length is 3470.1 mm.
12:41:45   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
12:41:45   True image center (J2000): 14h 30m 19.7s   23° 04' 12.28"
12:41:45   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
12:41:45   [sync] pointing model updated
12:41:45   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
12:41:45   Target is now centered.
12:41:45   (high cadence option, no web previews)
12:41:45   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
12:41:45   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
12:41:45   Focus change of 320 steps required
12:41:49   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
12:42:02   (guide star SNR=13.2 X=582 Y=325)
12:42:04   (first exposure estimate 1.13 sec)
12:42:09 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
12:42:10 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
12:42:10 **Autoguiding failed.
