This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
12:46:06 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
12:46:06 Custom image file path/names are in use
12:46:06   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
12:46:06 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:46:07 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
12:46:07 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:46:07 User actions detected.
12:46:07 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:46:07 Dome is MaxDome
12:46:07 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:46:07 Imager is ASCOM
12:46:07 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:46:07 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20230110@123133 UTC
12:46:07 Imager readout modes:
12:46:07   0 is Fast
12:46:07   1 is Normal
12:46:07 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:46:07 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:46:07 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:46:07 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:46:07 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:46:07 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:46:07 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:46:07 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
12:46:07 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
12:46:07 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
12:46:07 ==== Starting target 3C_279 ====
12:46:07 ACPS Observation 3C_279(1 of 1)
12:46:07   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3395, Plan 3C_279)
12:46:07   (turning on sidereal tracking)
12:46:07 Pointing updates are enabled
12:46:07 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
12:46:07   Start slew to 3C_279...
12:46:09   (wait for slew to complete)
12:46:34   (slew complete)
12:46:34   Calling TargetStart user action.

12:46:34   Updating pointing...
12:46:34   Switching from R to SR filter for pointing exposure
12:46:34   Focus change of -270 steps required
12:46:38   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
12:46:38   (using Fast readout mode)
12:46:38   (starting exposure)
12:47:01   (exposure complete)
12:47:03   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
12:47:04   Image finished
12:47:04   Plate-solve pointing image.
12:47:05   139 image stars found
12:47:05   144 catalog stars found
12:47:06   Solved! 39 stars matched.
12:47:07   Average residual is 0.38 arcsec.
12:47:07   Pointing error is 3.349 arcmin @ angle 268.90
12:47:07   True focal length is 3468.6 mm.
12:47:07   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
12:47:07   True image center (J2000): 12h 55m 57.6s   -05° 47' 25.83"
12:47:07   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
12:47:07   [sync] pointing model updated
12:47:07   Re-slew to target.
12:47:07   Start slew to 3C_279...
12:47:08   (wait for slew to complete)
12:47:18   (slew complete)
12:47:18   Target is now centered.
12:47:18   (high cadence option, no web previews)
12:47:18   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
12:47:18   Switching from SR to SU filter for imaging
12:47:18   No focus change required
12:47:18   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
12:47:29 **No stars at all found in guider image
12:47:30 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
12:47:43 **No stars at all found in guider image
12:47:43 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
12:47:43 **Autoguiding failed.
