This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
11:19:53 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:19:53 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:19:53   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:19:53 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:19:54 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:19:54 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:19:54 User actions detected.
11:19:54 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:19:54 Dome is MaxDome
11:19:54 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:19:54 Imager is ASCOM
11:19:54 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:19:54 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20221227@111923 UTC
11:19:54 Imager readout modes:
11:19:54   0 is Fast
11:19:54   1 is Normal
11:19:54 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:19:54 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:19:54 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:19:54 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:19:54 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:19:54 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:19:54 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:19:54 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:19:54 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
11:19:54 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
11:19:54 ==== Starting target OJ287 ====
11:19:54 ACPS Observation OJ287(1 of 1)
11:19:54   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3381, Plan OJ287)
11:19:54   (turning on sidereal tracking)
11:19:54 Pointing updates are enabled
11:19:54 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
11:19:54   Start slew to OJ287...
11:19:55   (wait for slew to complete)
11:20:20   (slew complete)
11:20:20   Calling TargetStart user action.

11:20:20   Updating pointing...
11:20:20   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
11:20:20   Focus change of -50 steps required
11:20:22   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
11:20:22   (using Fast readout mode)
11:20:22   (starting exposure)
11:20:44   (exposure complete)
11:20:46   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
11:20:47   Image finished
11:20:47   Plate-solve pointing image.
11:20:48   260 image stars found
11:20:48   211 catalog stars found
11:20:49   Solved! 70 stars matched.
11:20:49   Average residual is 0.26 arcsec.
11:20:49   Pointing error is 0.771 arcmin @ angle 258.40
11:20:49   True focal length is 3468.8 mm.
11:20:49   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
11:20:49   True image center (J2000): 08h 54m 45.7s   20° 06' 21.30"
11:20:49   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
11:20:49   [sync] pointing model updated
11:20:49   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
11:20:49   Target is now centered.
11:20:49   (high cadence option, no web previews)
11:20:49   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
11:20:49   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
11:20:49   Focus change of 320 steps required
11:20:53   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
11:21:06 **No stars at all found in guider image
11:21:07 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
11:21:20 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
11:21:20 **Autoguiding failed.
