05:54:49 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:54:49 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:54:49   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:54:49 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:54:50 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:54:50 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:54:50 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:54:50 Dome is MaxDome
05:54:50 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:54:50 Imager is ASCOM
05:54:50 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:54:50 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20231013@055424 UTC
05:54:50 Imager readout modes:
05:54:50   0 is Fast
05:54:50   1 is Normal
05:54:50 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:54:50 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:54:50 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:54:50 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:54:50 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:54:50 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:54:50 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:54:50 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:54:50 ==== Starting target TT_Ari ====
05:54:50 ACPS Observation TT_Ari(1 of 1)
05:54:50   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan TT_Ari)
05:54:50   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:54:50 Pointing updates are enabled
05:54:50 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:54:50   Start slew to TT_Ari...
05:54:52   (wait for slew to complete)
05:55:17   (slew complete)
05:55:17     [flip check:  Tn=660s HAc=-6812s GW=T HAz=-6152s DWz=T WF=no]
05:55:17   Updating pointing...
05:55:17   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:55:17   Focus change of -290 steps required
05:55:21   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:55:21   (using Fast readout mode)
05:55:21   (starting exposure)
05:55:46   (exposure complete)
05:55:48   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:55:50   Image finished
05:55:50   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:55:50   336 image stars found
05:55:50   133 catalog stars found
05:55:51   Solved! 43 stars matched.
05:55:51   Average residual is 0.36 arcsec.
05:55:51   Pointing error is 3.242 arcmin @ angle 278.29
05:55:51   True focal length is 3467.6 mm.
05:55:51   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
05:55:51   True image center (J2000): 02h 06m 39.8s   15° 18' 10.03"
05:55:51   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
05:55:51   [sync] pointing model updated
05:55:51   Re-slew to target.
05:55:51   Start slew to TT_Ari...
05:55:55   (wait for slew to complete)
05:56:05   (slew complete)
05:56:05   Target is now centered.
05:56:05   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:56:05   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
05:56:05   Switching from SR to SU filter for imaging
05:56:05   No focus change required
05:56:05   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:56:16   (guide star SNR=13.0 X=631 Y=499)
05:56:17   (first exposure estimate 1.15 sec)
05:56:22 **No stars at all found in guider image
05:56:22 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
05:56:22 **Autoguiding failed.
