This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
08:47:38 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:47:38 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:47:38   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:47:38 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:47:40 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:47:40 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:47:40 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:47:40 Dome is MaxDome
08:47:40 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:47:40 Imager is ASCOM
08:47:40 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:47:40 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240127@084634 UTC
08:47:40 Imager readout modes:
08:47:40   0 is Fast
08:47:40   1 is Normal
08:47:40 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:47:40 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:47:40 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:47:40 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:47:40 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:47:40 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:47:40 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:47:40 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:47:40 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:47:40 ==== Starting target PG_1424+240 ====
08:47:40 ACPS Observation PG_1424+240(1 of 1)
08:47:40   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_OAR_AUTO_ver2706, Plan PG_1424+240)
08:47:40   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:47:40 Pointing updates are enabled
08:47:40 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
08:47:40   Start slew to PG_1424+240...
08:47:42   (wait for slew to complete)
08:47:52   (slew complete)
08:47:52   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)

08:47:52   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:47:52   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:47:52   Switching from B to R filter for imaging
08:47:52   Focus change of -50 steps required
08:47:54   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:48:05   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
08:48:06 **No stars at all found in guider image
08:48:06 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:48:19   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=224.997 Y=840.9958
08:48:20 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:48:20 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
08:48:20 **Autoguiding failed.
08:48:20   (**AG failed, but individual exposure(s) can be unguided)

08:49:34   550 image stars found
08:49:35   59 catalog stars found
08:49:36 ** No matching stars found. Check your estimated center-point RA/Dec, and your image scaling and quality.
