This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
05:24:44 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:24:44 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:24:44   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:24:44 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:24:45 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:24:45 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:24:45 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:24:45 Dome is MaxDome
05:24:45 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:24:45 Imager is ASCOM
05:24:45 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:24:45 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240213@052125 UTC
05:24:45 Imager readout modes:
05:24:45   0 is Fast
05:24:45   1 is Normal
05:24:45 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:24:45 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:24:45 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:24:45 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:24:45 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:24:45 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:24:45 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:24:45 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:24:45 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:24:45 ==== Starting target OJ287 ====
05:24:45 ACPS Observation OJ287(1 of 1)
05:24:46   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan OJ287)
05:24:46   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:24:46 Pointing updates are enabled
05:24:46 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:24:46   Start slew to OJ287...
05:24:47   (wait for slew to complete)
05:25:32   (slew complete)
05:25:32     [flip check:  Tn=480s HAc=-3986s GW=T HAz=-3506s DWz=T WF=no]
05:25:32   Updating pointing...
05:25:32   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:25:32   Focus change of 20 steps required
05:25:35   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:25:35   (using Fast readout mode)
05:25:35   (starting exposure)
05:25:52   (exposure complete)
05:25:54   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:25:55   Image finished
05:25:55   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:25:56   411 image stars found
05:25:56   211 catalog stars found
05:25:57   Solved! 79 stars matched.
05:25:57   Average residual is 0.27 arcsec.
05:25:57   Pointing error is 1.844 arcmin @ angle 279.87
05:25:57   True focal length is 3466.8 mm.
05:25:57   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
05:25:57   True image center (J2000): 08h 54m 41.2s   20° 06' 49.56"
05:25:57   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
05:25:57   [sync] pointing model updated
05:25:57   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
05:25:57   Target is now centered.
05:25:57   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:25:57   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
05:25:57   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
05:25:57   Focus change of 320 steps required
05:26:01   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:26:14   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=75.32005 Y=828.9673
05:26:15 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:26:15 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:26:28   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.76 Y=608.0108
05:26:28 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:26:28 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
05:26:28 **Autoguiding failed.
