04:23:00 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:23:00 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:23:00   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:23:00 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:23:01 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:23:01 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:23:01 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:23:01 Dome is MaxDome
04:23:01 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:23:01 Imager is ASCOM
04:23:01 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:23:01 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240219@042104 UTC
04:23:01 Imager readout modes:
04:23:01   0 is Fast
04:23:01   1 is Normal
04:23:01 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:23:01 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:23:01 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:23:01 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:23:01 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:23:01 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:23:01 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:23:01 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:23:01 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:23:01 ==== Starting target OJ287 ====
04:23:01 ACPS Observation OJ287(1 of 1)
04:23:01   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan OJ287)
04:23:01   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:23:01 Pointing updates are enabled
04:23:01 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:23:02   Start slew to OJ287...
04:23:03   (wait for slew to complete)
04:23:33   (slew complete)

04:23:33   Updating pointing...
04:23:33   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:23:33   Focus change of -290 steps required
04:23:37   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:23:37   (using Fast readout mode)
04:23:37   (starting exposure)
04:24:01   (exposure complete)
04:24:04   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:24:05   Image finished
04:24:05   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:24:05   291 image stars found
04:24:06   211 catalog stars found
04:24:07   Solved! 82 stars matched.
04:24:07   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
04:24:07   Pointing error is 5.406 arcmin @ angle 87.38
04:24:07   True focal length is 3467.8 mm.
04:24:07   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
04:24:07   True image center (J2000): 08h 55m 11.9s   20° 06' 45.31"
04:24:07   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
04:24:07   [sync] pointing model updated
04:24:07   Re-slew to target.
04:24:07   Start slew to OJ287...
04:24:09   (wait for slew to complete)
04:24:18   (slew complete)
04:24:18   Target is now centered.
04:24:18   (high cadence option, no web previews)
04:24:19   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
04:24:19   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
04:24:19   Focus change of 320 steps required
04:24:22   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:24:36   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=50.77574 Y=64.98729
04:24:36 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:24:36 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
04:24:49   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=75.34677 Y=829
04:24:50 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:24:50 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
04:24:50 **Autoguiding failed.
