Licensed to Arne Henden
11:07:29 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:07:29 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:07:29   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:07:29 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:07:31 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:07:31 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:07:31 User actions detected.
11:07:31 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:07:31 Dome is MaxDome
11:07:32 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:07:32 Imager is ASCOM
11:07:32 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:07:32 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20221227@110627 UTC
11:07:32 Imager readout modes:
11:07:32   0 is Fast
11:07:32   1 is Normal
11:07:32 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:07:32 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:07:32 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:07:32 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:07:32 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:07:32 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:07:32 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:07:32 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:07:32 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
11:07:32 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
11:07:32 ==== Starting target OJ287 ====
11:07:32 ACPS Observation OJ287(1 of 1)
11:07:32   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan OJ287)
11:07:32   (turning on sidereal tracking)
11:07:32 Pointing updates are enabled
11:07:32 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
11:07:32   Start slew to OJ287...
11:07:33   (wait for slew to complete)
11:08:03   (slew complete)
11:08:03   Calling TargetStart user action.

11:08:03   Updating pointing...
11:08:03   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
11:08:03   Focus change of -290 steps required
11:08:07   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
11:08:07   (using Fast readout mode)
11:08:07   (starting exposure)
11:08:32   (exposure complete)
11:08:34   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
11:08:35   Image finished
11:08:35   Plate-solve pointing image.
11:08:36   296 image stars found
11:08:36   211 catalog stars found
11:08:37   Solved! 68 stars matched.
11:08:37   Average residual is 0.27 arcsec.
11:08:37   Pointing error is 0.731 arcmin @ angle 241.03
11:08:37   True focal length is 3465.7 mm.
11:08:37   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
11:08:37   True image center (J2000): 08h 54m 46.2s   20° 06' 09.36"
11:08:37   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
11:08:37   [sync] pointing model updated
11:08:37   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
11:08:37   Target is now centered.
11:08:37   (high cadence option, no web previews)
11:08:37   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
11:08:37   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
11:08:37   Focus change of 320 steps required
11:08:41   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
11:08:54 **No stars at all found in guider image
11:08:54 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
11:09:08 **No stars at all found in guider image
11:09:08 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
11:09:08 **Autoguiding failed.
