This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
12:30:23 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
12:30:23 Custom image file path/names are in use
12:30:23   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
12:30:23 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:30:24 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
12:30:24 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:30:24 User actions detected.
12:30:24 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:30:24 Dome is MaxDome
12:30:24 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:30:24 Imager is ASCOM
12:30:24 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:30:24 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20230110@122142 UTC
12:30:24 Imager readout modes:
12:30:24   0 is Fast
12:30:24   1 is Normal
12:30:24 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:30:24 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:30:24 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:30:24 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:30:24 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:30:24 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:30:24 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:30:24 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
12:30:24 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
12:30:24 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
12:30:24 ==== Starting target IR_Com ====
12:30:24 ACPS Observation IR_Com(1 of 1)
12:30:24   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver3395, Plan IR_Com)
12:30:24   (turning on sidereal tracking)
12:30:24 Pointing updates are enabled
12:30:24 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
12:30:24   Start slew to IR_Com...
12:30:26   (wait for slew to complete)
12:30:57   (slew complete)
12:30:57   Calling TargetStart user action.

12:30:58   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
12:30:58   (using Fast readout mode)
12:30:58   (starting exposure)
12:31:13   (exposure complete)
12:31:15   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
12:31:17   Image finished
12:31:17   Plate-solve pointing image.
12:31:17   116 image stars found
12:31:17   151 catalog stars found
12:31:18   Solved! 35 stars matched.
12:31:19   Average residual is 0.37 arcsec.
12:31:19   Pointing error is 2.141 arcmin @ angle 272.90
12:31:19   True focal length is 3467.0 mm.
12:31:19   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
12:31:19   True image center (J2000): 12h 39m 23.0s   21° 08' 12.89"
12:31:19   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
12:31:19   [sync] pointing model updated
12:31:19   Re-slew to target.
12:31:19   Start slew to IR_Com...
12:31:20   (wait for slew to complete)
12:31:30   (slew complete)
12:31:30   Target is now centered.
12:31:30   (high cadence option, no web previews)
12:31:30   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
12:31:30   Switching from SR to R filter for imaging
12:31:30   Focus change of 270 steps required
12:31:33   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
12:31:49 **No stars at all found in guider image
12:31:49 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
12:32:02 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
12:32:03 **Autoguiding failed.
