Licensed to Arne Henden
02:05:48 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:05:48 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:05:48   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:05:48 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:05:49 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:05:49 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:05:49 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:05:49 Dome is MaxDome
02:05:49 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:05:49 Imager is ASCOM
02:05:49 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:05:49 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240215@020405 UTC
02:05:49 Imager readout modes:
02:05:49   0 is Fast
02:05:49   1 is Normal
02:05:49 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:05:49 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:05:49 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:05:49 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:05:49 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:05:49 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:05:49 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:05:49 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:05:49 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:05:49 ==== Starting target OJ287 ====
02:05:49 ACPS Observation OJ287(1 of 1)
02:05:49   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan OJ287)
02:05:49   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:05:49 Pointing updates are enabled
02:05:49 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:05:49   Start slew to OJ287...
02:05:51   (wait for slew to complete)
02:07:56   (slew complete)
02:07:56     [flip check:  Tn=480s HAc=-15401s GW=T HAz=-14921s DWz=T WF=no]
02:07:56   Updating pointing...
02:07:56   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:07:56   Focus change of 20 steps required
02:07:59   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:07:59   (using Fast readout mode)
02:07:59   (starting exposure)
02:08:15   (exposure complete)
02:08:17   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:08:19   Image finished
02:08:19   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:08:19   333 image stars found
02:08:19   211 catalog stars found
02:08:21   Solved! 77 stars matched.
02:08:21   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
02:08:21   Pointing error is 0.895 arcmin @ angle 265.73
02:08:21   True focal length is 3464.8 mm.
02:08:21   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:08:21   True image center (J2000): 08h 54m 45.1s   20° 06' 26.60"
02:08:21   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
02:08:21   [sync] pointing model updated
02:08:21   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:08:21   Target is now centered.
02:08:21   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:08:21   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
02:08:21   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
02:08:21   Focus change of 320 steps required
02:08:25   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
02:08:37   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
02:08:38 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:08:38 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
02:08:51   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
02:08:52 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:08:52 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
02:08:52 **Autoguiding failed.
