09:06:52 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:06:52 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20220212@090402 UTC
09:06:52 Imager readout modes:
09:06:52   0 is Fast
09:06:52   1 is Normal
09:06:52 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:06:52 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
09:06:52 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
09:06:52 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:06:57 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
09:06:57 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
09:06:57 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:06:57 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:06:57 ACPS Observation OJ287(1 of 1)

09:07:24   Switching from SU to SR filter for pointing exposure
09:07:24   No focus change required
09:07:30   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 2)
09:07:30   (using Fast readout mode)
09:07:30   (starting [RBI] + exposure)

09:07:48   Image finished
09:07:48   Plate-solve pointing image.
09:07:52   369 image stars found
09:07:53   206 catalog stars found
09:07:54 ** Failed to solve plate, possibly due to input plate scale being too far off.

09:08:42   Target is now centered.
09:08:42   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:08:43   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:08:43   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
09:08:43   Focus change of 320 steps required
09:08:51   (take guider image at initial interval 10 sec)
09:09:08   (guide star SNR=5.5 X=607 Y=91)
09:09:08   (first exposure estimate 5.5 sec)
09:09:16 **No stars at all found in guider image
09:09:16 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
09:09:16 **Autoguiding failed.
