Licensed to Arne Henden
04:25:28 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:25:28 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:25:28   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:25:28 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:25:29 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:25:29 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:25:29 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:25:29 Dome is MaxDome
04:25:30 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:25:30 Imager is ASCOM
04:25:30 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:25:30 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240311@042330 UTC
04:25:30 Imager readout modes:
04:25:30   0 is Fast
04:25:30   1 is Normal
04:25:30 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:25:30 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:25:30 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:25:30 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:25:30 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:25:30 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:25:30 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:25:30 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:25:30 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:25:30 ==== Starting target OJ287 ====
04:25:30 ACPS Observation OJ287(1 of 1)
04:25:30   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan OJ287)
04:25:30   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:25:30 Pointing updates are enabled
04:25:30 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:25:30   Start slew to OJ287...
04:25:32   (wait for slew to complete)
04:26:06   (slew complete)
04:26:06     [flip check:  Tn=480s HAc=-1175s GW=T HAz=-695s DWz=T WF=no]
04:26:06   Updating pointing...
04:26:06   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:26:06   Focus change of -320 steps required
04:26:11   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:26:11   (using Fast readout mode)
04:26:11   (starting exposure)
04:26:37   (exposure complete)
04:26:39   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:26:40   Image finished
04:26:40   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:26:41   448 image stars found
04:26:41   211 catalog stars found
04:26:42   Solved! 68 stars matched.
04:26:42   Average residual is 0.39 arcsec.
04:26:42   Pointing error is 2.626 arcmin @ angle 266.73
04:26:42   True focal length is 3467.9 mm.
04:26:42   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
04:26:42   True image center (J2000): 08h 54m 37.7s   20° 06' 21.58"
04:26:42   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
04:26:42   [sync] pointing model updated
04:26:42   Re-slew to target.
04:26:42   Start slew to OJ287...
04:26:46   (wait for slew to complete)
04:26:56   (slew complete)
04:26:56   Target is now centered.
04:26:56   (high cadence option, no web previews)
04:26:56   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
04:26:56   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
04:26:56   Focus change of 320 steps required
04:27:00   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:27:13   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326 Y=608
04:27:13 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:27:13 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
04:27:26   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=708.0948 Y=457.1153
04:27:27 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:27:27 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
04:27:27 **Autoguiding failed.
