This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
08:50:16 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:50:16 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:50:16   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:50:16 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:50:17 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:50:17 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:50:17 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:50:17 Dome is MaxDome
08:50:18 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:50:18 Imager is ASCOM
08:50:18 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:50:18 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240328@084433 UTC
08:50:18 Imager readout modes:
08:50:18   0 is Fast
08:50:18   1 is Normal
08:50:18 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:50:18 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:50:18 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:50:18 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:50:18 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:50:18 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:50:18 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:50:18 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:50:18 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

08:50:18 ACPS Observation V884_Her(1 of 1)
08:50:18   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan V884_Her)
08:50:18   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:50:18 Pointing updates are enabled
08:50:18 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
08:50:18   Start slew to V884_Her...
08:50:19   (wait for slew to complete)
08:50:29   (slew complete)
08:50:29   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)

08:50:29   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:50:29   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:50:36   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=74.9052 Y=704.1589
08:50:37   (guide star SNR=4.7 X=75 Y=704)
08:50:37   (first exposure estimate 3.19 sec)
08:50:44 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:50:44 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:50:44 **Autoguiding failed.
08:50:44   (**AG failed, but individual exposure(s) can be unguided)

08:51:58   144 catalog stars found
08:51:58 ** Failed to solve plate, possibly due to input plate scale being too far off.
