Licensed to Arne Henden
03:06:02 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:06:02 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:06:02   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:06:02 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:06:03 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:06:03 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:06:03 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:06:03 Dome is MaxDome
03:06:03 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:06:03 Imager is ASCOM
03:06:03 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:06:03 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240215@030259 UTC
03:06:03 Imager readout modes:
03:06:03   0 is Fast
03:06:03   1 is Normal
03:06:03 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:06:03 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:06:03 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:06:03 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:06:03 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:06:03 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:06:03 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:06:03 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:06:03 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:06:03 ==== Starting target OJ287 ====
03:06:03 ACPS Observation OJ287(1 of 1)
03:06:03   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan OJ287)
03:06:03   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:06:03 Pointing updates are enabled
03:06:03 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:06:03   Start slew to OJ287...
03:06:05   (wait for slew to complete)
03:06:49   (slew complete)
03:06:49     [flip check:  Tn=480s HAc=-11859s GW=T HAz=-11379s DWz=T WF=no]
03:06:49   Updating pointing...
03:06:49   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:06:49   Focus change of 20 steps required
03:06:52   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:06:52   (using Fast readout mode)
03:06:52   (starting exposure)
03:07:09   (exposure complete)
03:07:12   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:07:13   Image finished
03:07:13   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:07:13   294 image stars found
03:07:13   211 catalog stars found
03:07:15   Solved! 67 stars matched.
03:07:15   Average residual is 0.27 arcsec.
03:07:15   Pointing error is 1.266 arcmin @ angle 261.30
03:07:15   True focal length is 3467.2 mm.
03:07:15   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:07:15   True image center (J2000): 08h 54m 43.6s   20° 06' 19.11"
03:07:15   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
03:07:15   [sync] pointing model updated
03:07:15   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:07:15   Target is now centered.
03:07:15   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:07:15   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:07:15   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
03:07:15   Focus change of 320 steps required
03:07:18   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:07:31   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1343 Y=370
03:07:31 **No stars at all found in guider image
03:07:32 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:07:44   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=243 Y=284
03:07:45 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:07:45 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
03:07:45 **Autoguiding failed.
