This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
02:04:53 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:04:53 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:04:53   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:04:53 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:04:54 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:04:54 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:04:54 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:04:54 Dome is MaxDome
02:04:54 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:04:54 Imager is ASCOM
02:04:54 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:04:54 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240301@020346 UTC
02:04:54 Imager readout modes:
02:04:54   0 is Fast
02:04:54   1 is Normal
02:04:54 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:04:54 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:04:54 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:04:54 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:04:54 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:04:54 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:04:54 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:04:54 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:04:54 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:04:54 ==== Starting target OJ287 ====
02:04:54 ACPS Observation OJ287(1 of 1)
02:04:54   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan OJ287)
02:04:54   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:04:54 Pointing updates are enabled
02:04:54 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:04:54   Start slew to OJ287...
02:04:56   (wait for slew to complete)
02:05:21   (slew complete)
02:05:21     [flip check:  Tn=480s HAc=-12008s GW=T HAz=-11528s DWz=T WF=no]
02:05:21   Updating pointing...
02:05:21   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:05:21   Focus change of -50 steps required
02:05:24   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:05:24   (using Fast readout mode)
02:05:24   (starting exposure)
02:05:45   (exposure complete)
02:05:48   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:05:49   Image finished
02:05:49   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:05:50   413 image stars found
02:05:50   211 catalog stars found
02:05:51   Solved! 78 stars matched.
02:05:51   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
02:05:51   Pointing error is 1.803 arcmin @ angle 269.71
02:05:51   True focal length is 3465.6 mm.
02:05:51   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:05:51   True image center (J2000): 08h 54m 41.2s   20° 06' 30.05"
02:05:51   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
02:05:51   [sync] pointing model updated
02:05:51   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:05:51   Target is now centered.
02:05:51   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:05:51   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
02:05:51   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
02:05:51   Focus change of 320 steps required
02:05:55   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
02:06:08   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
02:06:08 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:06:09 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
02:06:22   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=944.0161 Y=802.0009
02:06:22 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:06:22 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
02:06:22 **Autoguiding failed.
