01:57:11 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
01:57:11 Custom image file path/names are in use
01:57:11   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
01:57:11 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
01:57:12 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
01:57:12 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
01:57:12 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
01:57:12 Dome is MaxDome
01:57:12 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
01:57:12 Imager is ASCOM
01:57:12 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
01:57:12 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240217@015405 UTC
01:57:12 Imager readout modes:
01:57:12   0 is Fast
01:57:12   1 is Normal
01:57:12 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
01:57:12 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
01:57:12 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
01:57:12 Guider is set to multi-star mode
01:57:12 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
01:57:12 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
01:57:12 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
01:57:12 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
01:57:12 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
01:57:12 ==== Starting target OJ287 ====
01:57:12 ACPS Observation OJ287(1 of 1)
01:57:12   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan OJ287)
01:57:12   (turning on sidereal tracking)
01:57:12 Pointing updates are enabled
01:57:12 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
01:57:12   Start slew to OJ287...
01:57:14   (wait for slew to complete)
01:57:39   (slew complete)
01:57:39     [flip check:  Tn=480s HAc=-15548s GW=T HAz=-15068s DWz=T WF=no]
01:57:39   Updating pointing...
01:57:39   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
01:57:39   Focus change of -50 steps required
01:57:41   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
01:57:42   (using Fast readout mode)
01:57:42   (starting exposure)
01:58:03   (exposure complete)
01:58:05   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
01:58:06   Image finished
01:58:06   Plate-solve pointing image.
01:58:07   313 image stars found
01:58:07   211 catalog stars found
01:58:08   Solved! 78 stars matched.
01:58:08   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
01:58:08   Pointing error is 1.475 arcmin @ angle 262.34
01:58:08   True focal length is 3466.4 mm.
01:58:08   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
01:58:08   True image center (J2000): 08h 54m 42.7s   20° 06' 18.79"
01:58:08   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
01:58:08   [sync] pointing model updated
01:58:08   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
01:58:08   Target is now centered.
01:58:08   (high cadence option, no web previews)
01:58:08   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
01:58:08   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
01:58:08   Focus change of 320 steps required
01:58:12   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
01:58:25   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=368.01 Y=413
01:58:25 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
01:58:26 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
01:58:39   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1161.2 Y=865
01:58:39 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
01:58:40 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
01:58:40 **Autoguiding failed.
