10:15:53 This is AcquireScheduler V8.2.5
10:15:53 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:15:53   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:15:53 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:15:54 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.2.10
10:15:54 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:15:54 User actions detected.
10:15:54 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:15:54 Dome is MaxDome
10:15:55 MaxIm DL is version 6.21
10:15:55 Imager is QSI Universal
10:15:55 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:15:55 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20201216@101324 UTC
10:15:55 Imager readout modes:
10:15:55   0 is Image Quality
10:15:55 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:15:55 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
10:15:55 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:15:55 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:16:00 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.32 V = 0.32
10:16:00 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 17.8 V = 13.4
10:16:00 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:16:00 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:16:00 ACPS Observation M101(1 of 1)
10:16:00   (belongs to Project Messier, Plan M101)
10:16:00   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:16:00 Pointing updates are enabled
10:16:00   Start slew to M101...
10:16:02   (wait for slew to complete)
10:17:38   (slew complete)
10:17:38   Calling TargetStart user action.
10:17:38     [flip check:  Tn=660s HAc=-18659s GW=T HAz=-17999s DWz=T WF=no]
10:17:38   Updating pointing...
10:17:38   (taking 10 sec. exposure, V filter, binning = 4)
10:17:38   (using Image Quality readout mode)
10:17:40   (starting exposure)
10:17:50   (exposure complete)
10:17:57   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:17:58   Image finished
10:17:58   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:17:58   22 image stars found
10:17:59   42 catalog stars found
10:18:00   Solved! 9 stars matched.
10:18:00   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
10:18:00   Pointing error is 0.687 arcmin @ angle 319.61
10:18:00   True focal length is 3459.0 mm.
10:18:00   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 1.29 V = 1.29
10:18:00   True image center (J2000): 14h 03m 08.9s   54° 21' 31.37"
10:18:00   Imager sky position angle is 2.3 deg.
10:18:00   [sync] pointing model updated
10:18:00   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:18:00   Target is now centered.
10:18:00   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:18:00   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
10:18:00   Switching from V to B filter for imaging
10:18:00   Focus change of 4 steps required
10:18:04   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:18:12   (guide star SNR=2.4 X=321 Y=278)
10:18:12   (first exposure estimate 6.28 sec)
10:18:21 **No stars at all found in guider image
10:18:21 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
10:18:21 **Autoguiding failed.
