This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
06:42:30 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:42:30 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:42:30   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:42:30 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:42:31 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:42:31 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:42:31 User actions detected.
06:42:31 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:42:31 Dome is MaxDome
06:42:32 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:42:32 Imager is ASCOM
06:42:32 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:42:32 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230113@064110 UTC
06:42:32 Imager readout modes:
06:42:32   0 is Fast
06:42:32   1 is Normal
06:42:32 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:42:32 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:42:32 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:42:32 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:42:32 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:42:32 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:42:32 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:42:32 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:42:32 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
06:42:32 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
06:42:32 ==== Starting target HQ_Mon ====
06:42:32 ACPS Observation HQ_Mon(1 of 1)
06:42:32   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3411, Plan HQ_Mon)
06:42:32   (turning on sidereal tracking)
06:42:32 Pointing updates are enabled
06:42:32 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
06:42:32   Start slew to HQ_Mon...
06:42:33   (wait for slew to complete)
06:43:22   (slew complete)
06:43:22   Calling TargetStart user action.
06:43:22     [flip check:  Tn=540s HAc=4358s GW=T HAz=152s DWz=T WF=no]
06:43:22   Updating pointing...
06:43:22   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
06:43:22   Focus change of 20 steps required
06:43:24   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
06:43:24   (using Fast readout mode)
06:43:24   (starting exposure)
06:43:41   (exposure complete)
06:43:44   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
06:43:45   Image finished
06:43:45   Plate-solve pointing image.
06:43:46   1496 image stars found
06:43:46   415 catalog stars found
06:44:08 ** Failed to solve plate, possibly due to input plate scale being too far off.
06:44:09   Start slew to offset...
06:44:09 **Pointing update error from ASCOM.SiTechDll.Telescope:
    sttgaSiTech Says: Motor(s) in Blinky Mode!
06:44:09   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:44:09   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
06:44:09   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
06:44:09   Focus change of 290 steps required
06:44:13   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:44:27 **No stars at all found in guider image
06:44:28 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:44:41 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
06:44:41 **Autoguiding failed.
