Licensed to Arne Henden
02:50:19 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:50:19 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:50:19   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:50:19 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:50:20 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:50:20 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:50:20 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:50:20 Dome is MaxDome
02:50:20 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:50:20 Imager is ASCOM
02:50:20 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:50:20 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240217@024950 UTC
02:50:20 Imager readout modes:
02:50:20   0 is Fast
02:50:20   1 is Normal
02:50:20 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:50:20 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:50:20 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:50:20 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:50:20 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:50:20 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:50:20 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:50:20 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:50:20 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:50:20 ==== Starting target OJ287 ====
02:50:20 ACPS Observation OJ287(1 of 1)
02:50:20   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan OJ287)
02:50:20   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:50:20 Pointing updates are enabled
02:50:20 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:50:20   Start slew to OJ287...
02:50:22   (wait for slew to complete)
02:51:07   (slew complete)
02:51:07     [flip check:  Tn=480s HAc=-12331s GW=T HAz=-11851s DWz=T WF=no]
02:51:07   Updating pointing...
02:51:07   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:51:07   Focus change of 20 steps required
02:51:09   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:51:09   (using Fast readout mode)
02:51:09   (starting exposure)
02:51:26   (exposure complete)
02:51:29   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:51:30   Image finished
02:51:30   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:51:31   323 image stars found
02:51:31   211 catalog stars found
02:51:32   Solved! 71 stars matched.
02:51:32   Average residual is 0.29 arcsec.
02:51:32   Pointing error is 1.754 arcmin @ angle 267.01
02:51:32   True focal length is 3466.4 mm.
02:51:32   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:51:32   True image center (J2000): 08h 54m 41.4s   20° 06' 25.09"
02:51:32   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
02:51:32   [sync] pointing model updated
02:51:32   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:51:32   Target is now centered.
02:51:32   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:51:32   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
02:51:32   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
02:51:32   Focus change of 320 steps required
02:51:36   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
02:51:49   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=630.996 Y=815.9978
02:51:49 **No stars at all found in guider image
02:51:50 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
02:52:03   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=859 Y=830.9896
02:52:03 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:52:04 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
02:52:04 **Autoguiding failed.
