06:29:19 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:29:19 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:29:19   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:29:19 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:29:20 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:29:20 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:29:20 User actions detected.
06:29:20 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:29:20 Dome is MaxDome
06:29:21 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:29:21 Imager is ASCOM
06:29:21 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:29:21 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230228@062136 UTC
06:29:21 Imager readout modes:
06:29:21   0 is Fast
06:29:21   1 is Normal
06:29:21 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:29:21 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:29:21 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:29:21 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:29:21 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:29:21 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:29:21 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:29:21 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:29:21 ==== Starting target GZ_Cnc ====
06:29:21 ACPS Observation GZ_Cnc(1 of 1)
06:29:21   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_MZK_AUTO_ver2706, Plan GZ_Cnc)
06:29:21   (turning on sidereal tracking)
06:29:21 Pointing updates are enabled
06:29:21 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
06:29:21   Start slew to GZ_Cnc...
06:29:22   (wait for slew to complete)
06:30:03   (slew complete)
06:30:03   Calling TargetStart user action.

06:30:03   Updating pointing...
06:30:03   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
06:30:03   Focus change of -290 steps required
06:30:07   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
06:30:07   (using Fast readout mode)
06:30:07   (starting exposure)
06:30:32   (exposure complete)
06:30:34   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
06:30:35   Image finished
06:30:35   Plate-solve pointing image.
06:30:36   305 image stars found
06:30:36   127 catalog stars found
06:30:37   Solved! 37 stars matched.
06:30:37   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
06:30:37   Pointing error is 3.436 arcmin @ angle 268.52
06:30:37   True focal length is 3468.6 mm.
06:30:37   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
06:30:37   True image center (J2000): 09h 15m 37.8s   09° 00' 42.65"
06:30:37   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
06:30:37   [sync] pointing model updated
06:30:37   Re-slew to target.
06:30:37   Start slew to GZ_Cnc...
06:30:40   (wait for slew to complete)
06:30:48   (slew complete)
06:30:48   Target is now centered.
06:30:48   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:30:48   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
06:30:48   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
06:30:48   Focus change of 290 steps required
06:30:52   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:31:06 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:31:20 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
06:31:20 **Autoguiding failed.
