This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
04:07:33 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:07:33 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:07:33   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:07:33 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:07:34 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:07:34 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:07:34 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:07:34 Dome is MaxDome
04:07:35 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:07:35 Imager is ASCOM
04:07:35 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:07:35 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240507@040428 UTC
04:07:35 Imager readout modes:
04:07:35   0 is Fast
04:07:35   1 is Normal
04:07:35 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:07:35 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:07:35 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:07:35 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:07:35 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:07:35 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:07:35 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:07:35 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:07:35 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:07:35 ==== Starting target J072816 ====
04:07:35 ACPS Observation J072816(1 of 1)
04:07:35   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan J072816)
04:07:35   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:07:35 Pointing updates are enabled
04:07:35 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:07:35   Start slew to J072816...
04:07:36   (wait for slew to complete)
04:08:47   (slew complete)
04:08:47     [flip check:  Tn=480s HAc=7840s GW=T HAz=16834s DWz=T WF=no]
04:08:47   Updating pointing...
04:08:47   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:08:47   Focus change of -50 steps required
04:08:49   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:08:49   (using Fast readout mode)
04:08:49   (starting exposure)
04:09:11   (exposure complete)
04:09:14   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:09:15   Image finished
04:09:15   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:09:15   405 image stars found
04:09:15   313 catalog stars found
04:09:19 ** Failed to solve plate, possibly due to input plate scale being too far off.
04:09:20   Start slew to offset...
04:09:20 **Pointing update error from ASCOM.SiTechDll.Telescope:
    sttgaSiTech Says: Motor(s) in Blinky Mode!
04:09:20   (high cadence option, no web previews)
04:09:20   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
04:09:20   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
04:09:20   Focus change of -20 steps required
04:09:22   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:09:37   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1027 Y=945
04:09:37 **No stars at all found in guider image
04:09:37 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
04:09:50   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=51.00044 Y=65
04:09:50 **No stars at all found in guider image
04:09:50 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
04:09:50 **Autoguiding failed.
