Licensed to Arne Henden
01:55:21 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
01:55:21 Custom image file path/names are in use
01:55:21   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
01:55:21 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
01:55:22 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
01:55:22 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
01:55:22 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
01:55:22 Dome is MaxDome
01:55:23 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
01:55:23 Imager is ASCOM
01:55:23 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
01:55:23 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240219@015450 UTC
01:55:23 Imager readout modes:
01:55:23   0 is Fast
01:55:23   1 is Normal
01:55:23 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
01:55:23 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
01:55:23 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
01:55:23 Guider is set to multi-star mode
01:55:23 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
01:55:23 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
01:55:23 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
01:55:23 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
01:55:23 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
01:55:23 ==== Starting target OJ287 ====
01:55:23 ACPS Observation OJ287(1 of 1)
01:55:23   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan OJ287)
01:55:23   (turning on sidereal tracking)
01:55:23 Pointing updates are enabled
01:55:23 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
01:55:23   Start slew to OJ287...
01:55:25   (wait for slew to complete)
01:55:50   (slew complete)
01:55:50     [flip check:  Tn=480s HAc=-15184s GW=T HAz=-14704s DWz=T WF=no]
01:55:50   Updating pointing...
01:55:50   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
01:55:50   Focus change of -50 steps required
01:55:52   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
01:55:52   (using Fast readout mode)
01:55:52   (starting exposure)
01:56:14   (exposure complete)
01:56:16   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
01:56:17   Image finished
01:56:17   Plate-solve pointing image.
01:56:18   185 image stars found
01:56:18   211 catalog stars found
01:56:19   Solved! 61 stars matched.
01:56:19   Average residual is 0.35 arcsec.
01:56:19   Pointing error is 1.652 arcmin @ angle 89.38
01:56:19   True focal length is 3465.7 mm.
01:56:19   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
01:56:19   True image center (J2000): 08h 54m 55.9s   20° 06' 31.66"
01:56:19   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
01:56:19   [sync] pointing model updated
01:56:19   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
01:56:19   Target is now centered.
01:56:19   (high cadence option, no web previews)
01:56:19   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
01:56:19   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
01:56:19   Focus change of 320 steps required
01:56:23   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
01:56:36   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=858.9819 Y=830.6488
01:56:36 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
01:56:36 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
01:56:49   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=686 Y=583.9788
01:56:50 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
01:56:50 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
01:56:50 **Autoguiding failed.
