12:13:34 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
12:13:34 Custom image file path/names are in use
12:13:34   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
12:13:34 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:13:35 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
12:13:35 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:13:35 User actions detected.
12:13:35 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:13:35 Dome is MaxDome
12:13:35 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:13:35 Imager is ASCOM
12:13:35 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:13:35 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20230203@115900 UTC
12:13:35 Imager readout modes:
12:13:35   0 is Fast
12:13:35   1 is Normal
12:13:35 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:13:35 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:13:35 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:13:35 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:13:35 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:13:35 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:13:35 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:13:35 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
12:13:35 ==== Starting target HS1340+1524 ====
12:13:35 ACPS Observation HS1340+1524(1 of 1)
12:13:35   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3443, Plan HS1340+1524)
12:13:35   (turning on sidereal tracking)
12:13:35 Pointing updates are enabled
12:13:35 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
12:13:35   Start slew to HS1340+1524...
12:13:37   (wait for slew to complete)

12:13:57   Updating pointing...
12:13:57   Switching from R to SR filter for pointing exposure
12:13:57   Focus change of -270 steps required
12:14:00   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
12:14:00   (using Fast readout mode)
12:14:00   (starting exposure)
12:14:24   (exposure complete)
12:14:26   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
12:14:27   Image finished
12:14:27   Plate-solve pointing image.
12:14:28   222 image stars found
12:14:28   113 catalog stars found
12:14:29   Solved! 32 stars matched.
12:14:29   Average residual is 0.28 arcsec.
12:14:29   Pointing error is 3.661 arcmin @ angle 138.88
12:14:29   True focal length is 3472.7 mm.
12:14:29   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
12:14:29   True image center (J2000): 13h 43m 33.4s   15° 06' 30.54"
12:14:29   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
12:14:29   [sync] pointing model updated
12:14:29   Re-slew to target.
12:14:29   Start slew to HS1340+1524...
12:14:31   (wait for slew to complete)
12:14:40   (slew complete)
12:14:40   Target is now centered.
12:14:40   (high cadence option, no web previews)
12:14:40   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
12:14:40   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
12:14:40   Focus change of 290 steps required
12:14:44   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
12:14:58   (guide star SNR=1.7 X=629 Y=318)
12:14:58   (first exposure estimate 9.06 sec)
12:15:10 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
12:15:10 **Autoguiding failed.
