Licensed to Arne Henden
03:46:12 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:46:12 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:46:12   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:46:12 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:46:13 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:46:13 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:46:13 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:46:13 Dome is MaxDome
03:46:13 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:46:13 Imager is ASCOM
03:46:13 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:46:13 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240119@034530 UTC
03:46:13 Imager readout modes:
03:46:13   0 is Fast
03:46:13   1 is Normal
03:46:13 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:46:13 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:46:13 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:46:13 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:46:13 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:46:13 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:46:13 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:46:13 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:46:13 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:46:13 ==== Starting target OJ287 ====
03:46:13 ACPS Observation OJ287(1 of 1)
03:46:13   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan OJ287)
03:46:13   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:46:13 Pointing updates are enabled
03:46:13 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:46:13   Start slew to OJ287...
03:46:15   (wait for slew to complete)
03:47:10   (slew complete)
03:47:10     [flip check:  Tn=480s HAc=-15818s GW=T HAz=-15338s DWz=T WF=no]
03:47:10   Updating pointing...
03:47:10   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:47:10   Focus change of 20 steps required
03:47:11   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:47:11   (using Fast readout mode)
03:47:11   (starting exposure)
03:47:28   (exposure complete)
03:47:30   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:47:31   Image finished
03:47:31   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:47:32   271 image stars found
03:47:32   211 catalog stars found
03:47:33   Solved! 71 stars matched.
03:47:33   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
03:47:33   Pointing error is 1.963 arcmin @ angle 261.25
03:47:33   True focal length is 3462.4 mm.
03:47:33   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:47:33   True image center (J2000): 08h 54m 40.6s   20° 06' 12.67"
03:47:33   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
03:47:33   [sync] pointing model updated
03:47:33   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:47:33   Target is now centered.
03:47:33   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:47:33   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:47:33   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
03:47:33   Focus change of 320 steps required
03:47:33   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:47:46   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=859.0013 Y=830.5382
03:47:47 **No stars at all found in guider image
03:47:47 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:48:00   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
03:48:01 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:48:01 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
03:48:01 **Autoguiding failed.
