05:30:45 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:30:45 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:30:45   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:30:45 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:30:46 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:30:46 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:30:46 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:30:46 Dome is MaxDome
05:30:46 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:30:46 Imager is ASCOM
05:30:46 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:30:46 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240224@052919 UTC
05:30:46 Imager readout modes:
05:30:46   0 is Fast
05:30:46   1 is Normal
05:30:46 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:30:46 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:30:46 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:30:46 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:30:46 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:30:46 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:30:46 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:30:46 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:30:46 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:30:46 ==== Starting target OJ287 ====
05:30:46 ACPS Observation OJ287(1 of 1)
05:30:46   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan OJ287)
05:30:46   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:30:46 Pointing updates are enabled
05:30:46 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:30:46   Start slew to OJ287...
05:30:48   (wait for slew to complete)

05:31:25   Updating pointing...
05:31:25   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:31:25   (using Fast readout mode)
05:31:25   (starting exposure)
05:31:40   (exposure complete)
05:31:43   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:31:44   Image finished
05:31:44   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:31:45   258 image stars found
05:31:45   211 catalog stars found
05:31:46   Solved! 60 stars matched.
05:31:46   Average residual is 0.29 arcsec.
05:31:46   Pointing error is 2.393 arcmin @ angle 278.78
05:31:46   True focal length is 3466.3 mm.
05:31:46   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
05:31:46   True image center (J2000): 08h 54m 38.8s   20° 06' 52.49"
05:31:46   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
05:31:46   [sync] pointing model updated
05:31:46   Re-slew to target.
05:31:46   Start slew to OJ287...
05:31:50   (wait for slew to complete)
05:32:00   (slew complete)
05:32:00   Target is now centered.
05:32:00   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:32:00   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
05:32:00   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
05:32:00   Focus change of 320 steps required
05:32:03   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:32:17   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1112.025 Y=272.9669
05:32:17 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:32:17 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:32:30   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1085.799 Y=957.0618
05:32:31 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:32:31 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
05:32:31 **Autoguiding failed.
