This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
02:25:41 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:25:42 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:25:42   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:25:42 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:25:43 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:25:43 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:25:43 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:25:43 Dome is MaxDome
02:25:43 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:25:43 Imager is ASCOM
02:25:43 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:25:43 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240214@022355 UTC
02:25:43 Imager readout modes:
02:25:43   0 is Fast
02:25:43   1 is Normal
02:25:43 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:25:43 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:25:43 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:25:43 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:25:43 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:25:43 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:25:43 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:25:43 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:25:43 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:25:43 ==== Starting target OJ287 ====
02:25:43 ACPS Observation OJ287(1 of 1)
02:25:43   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan OJ287)
02:25:43   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:25:43 Pointing updates are enabled
02:25:43 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:25:43   Start slew to OJ287...
02:25:45   (wait for slew to complete)
02:26:10   (slew complete)
02:26:10     [flip check:  Tn=480s HAc=-14541s GW=T HAz=-14061s DWz=T WF=no]
02:26:10   Updating pointing...
02:26:10   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:26:10   Focus change of -50 steps required
02:26:12   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:26:13   (using Fast readout mode)
02:26:13   (starting exposure)
02:26:34   (exposure complete)
02:26:36   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:26:37   Image finished
02:26:37   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:26:38   286 image stars found
02:26:38   211 catalog stars found
02:26:39   Solved! 79 stars matched.
02:26:39   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
02:26:39   Pointing error is 0.511 arcmin @ angle 295.65
02:26:39   True focal length is 3465.3 mm.
02:26:39   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:26:39   True image center (J2000): 08h 54m 46.9s   20° 06' 43.88"
02:26:39   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
02:26:39   [sync] pointing model updated
02:26:39   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:26:39   Target is now centered.
02:26:39   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:26:39   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
02:26:39   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
02:26:39   Focus change of 320 steps required
02:26:44   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
02:26:56   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
02:26:57 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:26:57 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
02:27:10   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
02:27:10 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:27:10 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
02:27:10 **Autoguiding failed.
