This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
11:32:37 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:32:37 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:32:37   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:32:37 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:32:38 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:32:38 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:32:38 User actions detected.
11:32:38 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:32:38 Dome is MaxDome
11:32:38 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:32:38 Imager is ASCOM
11:32:38 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:32:38 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230109@111843 UTC
11:32:38 Imager readout modes:
11:32:38   0 is Fast
11:32:38   1 is Normal
11:32:38 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:32:38 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:32:38 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:32:38 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:32:39 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:32:39 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:32:39 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:32:39 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:32:39 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
11:32:39 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
11:32:39 ==== Starting target KN_Lyn ====
11:32:39 ACPS Observation KN_Lyn(1 of 1)
11:32:39   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver3394, Plan KN_Lyn)
11:32:39   (turning on sidereal tracking)
11:32:39 Pointing updates are enabled
11:32:39 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
11:32:39   Start slew to KN_Lyn...
11:32:40   (wait for slew to complete)
11:32:55   (slew complete)
11:32:55   Calling TargetStart user action.
11:32:55     [flip check:  Tn=540s HAc=13598s GW=T HAz=12696s DWz=T WF=no]
11:32:55   Updating pointing...
11:32:55   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
11:32:55   Focus change of -290 steps required
11:32:59   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
11:32:59   (using Fast readout mode)
11:32:59   (starting exposure)
11:33:24   (exposure complete)
11:33:26   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
11:33:27   Image finished
11:33:27   Plate-solve pointing image.
11:33:28   101 image stars found
11:33:28   252 catalog stars found
11:33:31 ** Failed to solve plate, possibly due to input plate scale being too far off.
11:33:31   Start slew to offset...
11:33:37 **Pointing update error from ASCOM.SiTechDll.Telescope:
    sttgaSiTech Says: Motor(s) in Blinky Mode!
11:33:37   (high cadence option, no web previews)
11:33:37   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
11:33:37   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
11:33:37   Focus change of 50 steps required
11:33:40   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
11:33:50 **No stars at all found in guider image
11:33:50 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
11:34:03 **No stars at all found in guider image
11:34:04 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
11:34:04 **Autoguiding failed.
