02:01:19 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:01:19 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:01:19   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:01:19 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:01:20 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:01:20 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:01:20 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:01:20 Dome is MaxDome
02:01:20 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:01:20 Imager is ASCOM
02:01:20 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:01:20 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240221@015904 UTC
02:01:20 Imager readout modes:
02:01:20   0 is Fast
02:01:20   1 is Normal
02:01:20 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:01:20 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:01:20 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:01:20 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:01:20 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:01:20 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:01:20 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:01:20 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:01:20 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:01:20 ==== Starting target OJ287 ====
02:01:20 ACPS Observation OJ287(1 of 1)
02:01:20   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan OJ287)
02:01:20   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:01:20 Pointing updates are enabled
02:01:20 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:01:20   Start slew to OJ287...
02:01:22   (wait for slew to complete)
02:01:47   (slew complete)
02:01:47     [flip check:  Tn=480s HAc=-14352s GW=T HAz=-13872s DWz=T WF=no]
02:01:47   Updating pointing...
02:01:47   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:01:47   Focus change of -50 steps required
02:01:50   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:01:50   (using Fast readout mode)
02:01:50   (starting exposure)
02:02:11   (exposure complete)
02:02:13   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:02:14   Image finished
02:02:14   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:02:15   348 image stars found
02:02:15   211 catalog stars found
02:02:16   Solved! 67 stars matched.
02:02:16   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
02:02:16   Pointing error is 1.896 arcmin @ angle 271.99
02:02:16   True focal length is 3465.5 mm.
02:02:16   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:02:16   True image center (J2000): 08h 54m 40.8s   20° 06' 34.54"
02:02:16   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
02:02:16   [sync] pointing model updated
02:02:16   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:02:16   Target is now centered.
02:02:16   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:02:16   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
02:02:16   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
02:02:16   Focus change of 320 steps required
02:02:20   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
02:02:33   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1039.001 Y=100
02:02:34 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:02:34 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
02:02:47   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1027.117 Y=945.0193
02:02:47 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:02:47 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
02:02:47 **Autoguiding failed.
