Licensed to Arne Henden
03:13:06 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:13:06 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:13:06   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:13:06 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:13:07 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:13:07 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:13:07 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:13:07 Dome is MaxDome
03:13:07 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:13:07 Imager is ASCOM
03:13:07 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:13:07 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240224@031014 UTC
03:13:07 Imager readout modes:
03:13:07   0 is Fast
03:13:07   1 is Normal
03:13:07 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:13:07 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:13:07 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:13:07 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:13:07 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:13:07 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:13:07 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:13:07 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:13:07 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:13:07 ==== Starting target OJ287 ====
03:13:07 ACPS Observation OJ287(1 of 1)
03:13:07   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan OJ287)
03:13:07   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:13:07 Pointing updates are enabled
03:13:07 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:13:07   Start slew to OJ287...
03:13:09   (wait for slew to complete)
03:13:34   (slew complete)
03:13:34     [flip check:  Tn=480s HAc=-9324s GW=T HAz=-8844s DWz=T WF=no]
03:13:34   Updating pointing...
03:13:34   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:13:34   Focus change of -50 steps required
03:13:36   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:13:36   (using Fast readout mode)
03:13:36   (starting exposure)
03:13:58   (exposure complete)
03:14:00   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:14:01   Image finished
03:14:01   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:14:02   239 image stars found
03:14:02   211 catalog stars found
03:14:03   Solved! 55 stars matched.
03:14:03   Average residual is 0.39 arcsec.
03:14:03   Pointing error is 1.579 arcmin @ angle 277.81
03:14:03   True focal length is 3465.9 mm.
03:14:03   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:14:03   True image center (J2000): 08h 54m 42.2s   20° 06' 43.46"
03:14:03   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
03:14:03   [sync] pointing model updated
03:14:03   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:14:03   Target is now centered.
03:14:03   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:14:03   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:14:03   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
03:14:03   Focus change of 320 steps required
03:14:08   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:14:21   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326 Y=608
03:14:22 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:14:22 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:14:35   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.429 Y=608.1093
03:14:35 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:14:35 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
03:14:35 **Autoguiding failed.
