This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
02:07:26 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:07:26 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:07:26   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:07:26 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:07:27 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:07:27 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:07:27 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:07:27 Dome is MaxDome
02:07:27 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:07:27 Imager is ASCOM
02:07:27 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:07:27 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240213@020453 UTC
02:07:27 Imager readout modes:
02:07:27   0 is Fast
02:07:27   1 is Normal
02:07:27 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:07:27 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:07:27 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:07:27 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:07:27 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:07:27 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:07:27 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:07:27 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:07:27 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:07:27 ==== Starting target OJ287 ====
02:07:27 ACPS Observation OJ287(1 of 1)
02:07:27   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan OJ287)
02:07:27   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:07:28 Pointing updates are enabled
02:07:28 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:07:28   Start slew to OJ287...
02:07:29   (wait for slew to complete)
02:07:59   (slew complete)
02:07:59     [flip check:  Tn=480s HAc=-15872s GW=T HAz=-15392s DWz=T WF=no]
02:07:59   Updating pointing...
02:07:59   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:07:59   Focus change of -50 steps required
02:08:01   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:08:01   (using Fast readout mode)
02:08:01   (starting exposure)
02:08:23   (exposure complete)
02:08:25   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:08:27   Image finished
02:08:27   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:08:27   352 image stars found
02:08:27   211 catalog stars found
02:08:28   Solved! 83 stars matched.
02:08:28   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
02:08:28   Pointing error is 1.219 arcmin @ angle 263.06
02:08:28   True focal length is 3467.3 mm.
02:08:28   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:08:28   True image center (J2000): 08h 54m 43.7s   20° 06' 21.76"
02:08:28   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
02:08:29   [sync] pointing model updated
02:08:29   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:08:29   Target is now centered.
02:08:29   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:08:29   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
02:08:29   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
02:08:29   Focus change of 320 steps required
02:08:32   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
02:08:45   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
02:08:46 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:08:46 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
02:08:59   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1027 Y=945
02:08:59 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:09:00 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
02:09:00 **Autoguiding failed.
