08:45:39 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:45:39 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:45:39   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:45:39 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:45:40 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:45:40 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:45:40 User actions detected.
08:45:40 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:45:40 Dome is MaxDome
08:45:40 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:45:40 Imager is ASCOM
08:45:40 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:45:40 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230203@084409 UTC
08:45:40 Imager readout modes:
08:45:40   0 is Fast
08:45:40   1 is Normal
08:45:40 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:45:40 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:45:40 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:45:40 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:45:40 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:45:40 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:45:40 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:45:40 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:45:40 ==== Starting target GZ_Cnc ====
08:45:40 ACPS Observation GZ_Cnc(1 of 1)
08:45:40   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3443, Plan GZ_Cnc)
08:45:40   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:45:40 Pointing updates are enabled
08:45:40 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0

08:46:22   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:46:22   Focus change of -290 steps required
08:46:26   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:46:26   (using Fast readout mode)
08:46:26   (starting exposure)
08:46:50   (exposure complete)
08:46:52   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
08:46:54   Image finished
08:46:54   Plate-solve pointing image.
08:46:54   289 image stars found
08:46:55   127 catalog stars found
08:46:56   Solved! 58 stars matched.
08:46:56   Average residual is 0.42 arcsec.
08:46:56   Pointing error is 5.278 arcmin @ angle 133.46
08:46:56   True focal length is 3471.7 mm.
08:46:56   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
08:46:56   True image center (J2000): 09h 16m 07.2s   08° 57' 10.17"
08:46:56   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
08:46:56   [sync] pointing model updated
08:46:56   Re-slew to target.
08:46:56   Start slew to GZ_Cnc...
08:46:57   (wait for slew to complete)
08:47:07   (slew complete)
08:47:07   Target is now centered.
08:47:07   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:47:07   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
08:47:07   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
08:47:07   Focus change of 290 steps required
08:47:11   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:47:25   (guide star SNR=1.9 X=1110 Y=608)
08:47:25   (first exposure estimate 8.06 sec)
08:47:36 **No stars at all found in guider image
08:47:36 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:47:36 **Autoguiding failed.
