This is ACP version 8.1 (build 2, Product Version 8.1.1)
Licensed to Arne Henden
12:43:30 This is AcquireScheduler V8.1.0
12:43:30 Custom image file path/names are in use
12:43:30   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=120 AF=180 PU=60]
12:43:30 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:43:32 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
12:43:32 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:43:32 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
12:43:32 Dome is MaxDome
12:43:32 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
12:43:32 Imager is QSI Universal
12:43:32 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:43:32 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20190131@123818 UTC
12:43:32 Imager readout modes:
12:43:32   0 is Image Quality
12:43:32 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:43:32 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
12:43:32 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:43:32 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:43:42 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
12:43:42 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
12:43:42 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:43:42 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
12:43:42 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
12:43:42 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
12:43:42 ACPS Observation V841_Oph(1 of 1)
12:43:42   (belongs to Project AAVSO_Monitoring, Plan V841_Oph)
12:43:42   (turning on sidereal tracking)
12:43:43 Pointing updates are enabled
12:43:43   Start slew to V841_Oph...
12:43:44   (wait for slew to complete)

12:44:55   Updating pointing...
12:44:55   (taking 10 sec. exposure, V filter, binning = 4)
12:44:55   (using Image Quality readout mode)
12:44:56   (starting exposure)
12:45:09   (exposure complete)

12:45:16   Image finished
12:45:16   Plate-solve pointing image.
12:45:17   1 image stars found
12:45:17   102 catalog stars found
12:45:17 ** There are too few catalog stars in the area for reliable matching. Increase the catalog star faint limit, or use a more dense catalog.
12:45:17   Start slew to offset...
12:45:19   (wait for slew to complete)
12:45:25   (slew complete)

12:45:44   Image finished
12:45:44   Plate-solve pointing image.
12:45:44   2 image stars found
12:45:45   114 catalog stars found
12:45:45 ** No matching stars found. Check your estimated center-point RA/Dec, and your image scaling and quality.
12:45:45   Attempting all-sky plate solution (time-consuming)...
12:45:45   Failed: Too few stars for all-sky solution
12:45:45   Astrometry.net may be offline or image quality is too poor.

12:45:46   (wait for slew to complete)
12:45:54   (slew complete)
12:45:54   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
12:45:54   Switching from V to B filter for imaging
12:45:54   Focus change of 25 steps required
12:45:57   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
12:46:03 **No stars at all found in guider image
12:46:04 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
12:46:26 **No stars at all found in guider image
12:46:26 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
12:46:26 **Autoguiding failed.
