06:57:31 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:57:31 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:57:31   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:57:31 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:57:32 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:57:32 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:57:32 User actions detected.
06:57:32 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:57:32 Dome is MaxDome
06:57:32 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:57:32 Imager is ASCOM
06:57:32 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:57:32 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230207@065626 UTC
06:57:32 Imager readout modes:
06:57:32   0 is Fast
06:57:32   1 is Normal
06:57:32 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:57:32 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:57:32 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:57:32 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:57:32 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:57:32 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:57:32 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:57:32 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:57:32 ==== Starting target OJ287 ====
06:57:32 ACPS Observation OJ287(1 of 1)

06:58:34   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
06:58:34   Focus change of 20 steps required
06:58:36   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
06:58:36   (using Fast readout mode)

06:58:57   Plate-solve pointing image.
06:58:57   17 image stars found
06:58:57   211 catalog stars found
06:58:57 ** No matching stars found. Check your estimated center-point RA/Dec, and your image scaling and quality.
