04:47:30 This is AcquireScheduler V8.1.0
04:47:30 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:47:30   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=120 AF=180 PU=60]
04:47:30 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:47:31 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
04:47:32 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:47:32 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
04:47:32 Dome is MaxDome
04:47:33 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
04:47:33 Imager is QSI Universal
04:47:33 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:47:33 Selecting filter I from previous ACP run at 20190129@044610 UTC
04:47:33 Imager readout modes:
04:47:33   0 is Image Quality
04:47:33 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:47:33 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
04:47:33 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:47:33 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:47:43 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
04:47:43 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
04:47:43 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:47:43 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:47:43 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
04:47:43 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
04:47:43 ACPS Observation HO_Cam(1 of 1)

04:48:55   123 catalog stars found
04:48:55 ** Failed to solve plate, possibly due to input plate scale being too far off.
