Licensed to Arne Henden
02:15:18 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:15:18 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:15:18   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:15:18 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:15:20 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:15:20 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:15:20 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:15:20 Dome is MaxDome
02:15:20 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:15:20 Imager is ASCOM
02:15:20 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:15:20 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240311@021314 UTC
02:15:20 Imager readout modes:
02:15:20   0 is Fast
02:15:20   1 is Normal
02:15:20 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:15:20 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:15:20 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:15:20 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:15:20 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:15:20 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:15:20 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:15:20 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:15:20 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:15:20 ==== Starting target OJ287 ====
02:15:20 ACPS Observation OJ287(1 of 1)
02:15:20   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan OJ287)
02:15:20   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:15:20 Pointing updates are enabled
02:15:20 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:15:20   Start slew to OJ287...
02:15:22   (wait for slew to complete)
02:15:47   (slew complete)

02:15:47   Updating pointing...
02:15:47   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:15:47   Focus change of -50 steps required
02:15:49   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:15:49   (using Fast readout mode)
02:15:49   (starting exposure)
02:16:10   (exposure complete)
02:16:13   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:16:14   Image finished
02:16:14   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:16:15   394 image stars found
02:16:15   211 catalog stars found
02:16:16   Solved! 66 stars matched.
02:16:16   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
02:16:16   Pointing error is 2.045 arcmin @ angle 269.58
02:16:16   True focal length is 3467.5 mm.
02:16:16   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:16:16   True image center (J2000): 08h 54m 40.2s   20° 06' 29.68"
02:16:16   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
02:16:16   [sync] pointing model updated
02:16:16   Re-slew to target.
02:16:16   Start slew to OJ287...
02:16:18   (wait for slew to complete)
02:16:27   (slew complete)
02:16:27   Target is now centered.
02:16:27   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:16:27   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
02:16:27   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
02:16:27   Focus change of 320 steps required
02:16:31   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
02:16:44   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
02:16:45 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:16:45 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
02:16:58   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=850 Y=58
02:16:58 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:16:58 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
02:16:58 **Autoguiding failed.
