This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
07:38:39 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:38:39 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:38:39   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:38:39 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:38:40 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:38:40 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:38:40 User actions detected.
07:38:40 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:38:40 Dome is MaxDome
07:38:40 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:38:40 Imager is ASCOM
07:38:40 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:38:40 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230129@072758 UTC
07:38:40 Imager readout modes:
07:38:40   0 is Fast
07:38:40   1 is Normal
07:38:40 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:38:40 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:38:40 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:38:40 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:38:40 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:38:40 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:38:40 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:38:40 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:38:40 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
07:38:40 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
07:38:40 ==== Starting target OJ287 ====
07:38:40 ACPS Observation OJ287(1 of 1)
07:38:40   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan OJ287)
07:38:40   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:38:40 Pointing updates are enabled
07:38:40 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
07:38:41   Start slew to OJ287...
07:38:42   (wait for slew to complete)
07:39:27   (slew complete)
07:39:27   Calling TargetStart user action.

07:39:27   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
07:39:27   Focus change of -290 steps required
07:39:31   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:39:31   (using Fast readout mode)
07:39:31   (starting exposure)
07:39:55   (exposure complete)
07:39:58   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
07:39:59   Image finished
07:39:59   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:39:59   322 image stars found
07:40:00   211 catalog stars found
07:40:01   Solved! 78 stars matched.
07:40:01   Average residual is 0.34 arcsec.
07:40:01   Pointing error is 11.017 arcmin @ angle 285.57
07:40:01   True focal length is 3469.5 mm.
07:40:01   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

07:40:01   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
07:40:01   [sync] pointing model updated
07:40:01   Re-slew to target.
07:40:01   Start slew to OJ287...
07:40:03   (wait for slew to complete)
07:40:12   (slew complete)
07:40:12   Target is now centered.
07:40:12   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:40:12   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
07:40:12   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
07:40:12   Focus change of 320 steps required
07:40:17   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:40:31   (guide star SNR=2.2 X=1226 Y=179)
07:40:31   (first exposure estimate 6.88 sec)
07:40:41 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:40:41 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
07:40:41 **Autoguiding failed.
