02:27:57 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:27:57 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:27:57   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:27:57 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:27:58 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:27:58 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:27:58 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:27:58 Dome is MaxDome
02:27:58 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:27:58 Imager is ASCOM
02:27:58 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:27:58 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240328@022726 UTC
02:27:58 Imager readout modes:
02:27:58   0 is Fast
02:27:58   1 is Normal
02:27:58 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:27:58 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:27:58 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:27:58 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:27:58 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:27:58 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:27:58 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:27:58 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:27:58 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:27:58 ==== Starting target OJ287 ====
02:27:58 ACPS Observation OJ287(1 of 1)
02:27:58   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan OJ287)
02:27:58   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:27:58 Pointing updates are enabled
02:27:58 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0

02:28:28   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:28:28   Focus change of -50 steps required
02:28:31   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:28:31   (using Fast readout mode)
02:28:31   (starting exposure)
02:28:52   (exposure complete)
02:28:55   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:28:56   Image finished
02:28:56   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:28:56   374 image stars found
02:28:57   211 catalog stars found
02:28:58   Solved! 76 stars matched.
02:28:58   Average residual is 0.29 arcsec.
02:28:58   Pointing error is 1.983 arcmin @ angle 78.39
02:28:58   True focal length is 3469.0 mm.
02:28:58   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:28:58   True image center (J2000): 08h 54m 57.2s   20° 06' 54.54"
02:28:58   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
02:28:58   [sync] pointing model updated
02:28:58   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:28:58   Target is now centered.
02:28:58   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:28:58   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
02:28:58   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
02:28:58   Focus change of 320 steps required
02:29:02   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
02:29:14   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1169.943 Y=534.9723
02:29:15   (guide star SNR=3.0 X=1170 Y=535)
02:29:15   (first exposure estimate 4.98 sec)

02:30:36 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:30:36 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
02:30:49   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=32.29499 Y=417.0265
02:30:50 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:30:50 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
02:30:50 **Autoguiding failed.
