08:45:47 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:45:47 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:45:47   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:45:47 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:45:48 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:45:48 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:45:48 User actions detected.
08:45:48 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:45:48 Dome is MaxDome
08:45:48 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:45:49 Imager is ASCOM
08:45:49 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:45:49 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230228@084314 UTC
08:45:49 Imager readout modes:
08:45:49   0 is Fast
08:45:49   1 is Normal
08:45:49 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:45:49 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:45:49 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:45:49 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:45:49 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:45:49 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:45:49 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:45:49 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:45:49 ==== Starting target OJ287 ====
08:45:49 ACPS Observation OJ287(1 of 1)
08:45:49   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3464, Plan OJ287)
08:45:49   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:45:49 Pointing updates are enabled
08:45:49 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
08:45:49   Start slew to OJ287...
08:45:51   (wait for slew to complete)
08:46:30   (slew complete)
08:46:30   Calling TargetStart user action.

08:46:30   Updating pointing...
08:46:30   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:46:30   Focus change of 20 steps required
08:46:32   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:46:32   (using Fast readout mode)
08:46:32   (starting exposure)
08:46:50   (exposure complete)
08:46:52   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
08:46:53   Image finished
08:46:53   Plate-solve pointing image.
08:46:54   380 image stars found
08:46:54   211 catalog stars found
08:46:55   Solved! 88 stars matched.
08:46:56   Average residual is 0.26 arcsec.
08:46:56   Pointing error is 2.581 arcmin @ angle 258.81
08:46:56   True focal length is 3466.8 mm.
08:46:56   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
08:46:56   True image center (J2000): 08h 54m 38.1s   20° 06' 00.54"
08:46:56   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
08:46:57   [sync] pointing model updated
08:46:57   Re-slew to target.
08:46:57   Start slew to OJ287...
08:46:58   (wait for slew to complete)
08:47:07   (slew complete)
08:47:07   Target is now centered.
08:47:07   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:47:07   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:47:07   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
08:47:07   Focus change of 320 steps required
08:47:11   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:47:24 **No stars at all found in guider image
08:47:24 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:47:39 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
08:47:39 **Autoguiding failed.
