Licensed to Arne Henden
12:56:42 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
12:56:42 Custom image file path/names are in use
12:56:42   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
12:56:42 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:56:43 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
12:56:43 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:56:43 User actions detected.
12:56:43 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:56:43 Dome is MaxDome
12:56:44 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:56:44 Imager is ASCOM
12:56:44 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:56:44 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20230122@122758 UTC
12:56:44 Imager readout modes:
12:56:44   0 is Fast
12:56:44   1 is Normal
12:56:44 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:56:44 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:56:44 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:56:44 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:56:44 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:56:44 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:56:44 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:56:44 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
12:56:44 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
12:56:44 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used

12:57:05   Switching from R to SR filter for pointing exposure
12:57:05   Focus change of -270 steps required
12:57:09   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
12:57:09   (using Fast readout mode)
12:57:09   (starting exposure)
12:57:33   (exposure complete)
12:57:35   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
12:57:36   Image finished
12:57:36   Plate-solve pointing image.
12:57:36   237 image stars found
12:57:36   113 catalog stars found
12:57:38   Solved! 13 stars matched.
12:57:38   Average residual is 0.23 arcsec.
12:57:38   Pointing error is 8.536 arcmin @ angle 22.37
12:57:38   True focal length is 3486.2 mm.
12:57:38   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

12:57:38   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
12:57:38   [sync] pointing model updated
12:57:38   Re-slew to target.
12:57:38   Start slew to HS1340+1524...
12:57:39   (wait for slew to complete)
12:57:49   (slew complete)
12:57:49   Target is now centered.
12:57:49   (high cadence option, no web previews)
12:57:49   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
12:57:49   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
12:57:49   Focus change of 290 steps required
12:57:53   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
12:58:07   (guide star SNR=1.9 X=599 Y=311)
12:58:07   (first exposure estimate 8.04 sec)
12:58:19 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
12:58:19 **Autoguiding failed.
