10:09:19 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:09:19 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:09:19   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:09:19 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:09:20 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:09:20 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:09:20 User actions detected.
10:09:20 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:09:20 Dome is MaxDome
10:09:21 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:09:21 Imager is ASCOM
10:09:21 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:09:21 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230305@100739 UTC
10:09:21 Imager readout modes:
10:09:21   0 is Fast
10:09:21   1 is Normal
10:09:21 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:09:21 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:09:21 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:09:21 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:09:21 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:09:21 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:09:21 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:09:21 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:09:21 ==== Starting target HS1340+1524 ====
10:09:21 ACPS Observation HS1340+1524(1 of 1)
10:09:21   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan HS1340+1524)
10:09:21   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:09:21 Pointing updates are enabled
10:09:21 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:09:21   Start slew to HS1340+1524...
10:09:22   (wait for slew to complete)
10:09:37   (slew complete)
10:09:37   Calling TargetStart user action.

10:09:37   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:09:37   Focus change of -290 steps required
10:09:41   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:09:41   (using Fast readout mode)
10:09:41   (starting exposure)
10:10:05   (exposure complete)
10:10:07   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:10:08   Image finished
10:10:08   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:10:09   197 image stars found
10:10:09   113 catalog stars found
10:10:11   Solved! 15 stars matched.
10:10:11   Average residual is 0.4 arcsec.
10:10:11   Pointing error is 1.989 arcmin @ angle 91.91
10:10:11   True focal length is 3481.7 mm.
10:10:11   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
10:10:11   True image center (J2000): 13h 43m 31.6s   15° 09' 12.01"
10:10:11   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
10:10:11   [sync] pointing model updated
10:10:11   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:10:11   Target is now centered.
10:10:11   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:10:11   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
10:10:11   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
10:10:11   Focus change of 290 steps required
10:10:15   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:10:29   (guide star SNR=1.6 X=476 Y=210)
10:10:29   (first exposure estimate 9.12 sec)
10:10:42 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
10:10:42 **Autoguiding failed.
