Licensed to Arne Henden
03:08:27 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:08:27 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:08:27   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:08:27 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:08:28 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:08:28 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:08:28 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:08:28 Dome is MaxDome
03:08:28 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:08:28 Imager is ASCOM
03:08:28 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:08:28 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240328@030809 UTC
03:08:28 Imager readout modes:
03:08:28   0 is Fast
03:08:28   1 is Normal
03:08:28 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:08:28 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:08:28 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:08:28 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:08:28 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:08:28 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:08:28 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:08:28 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:08:28 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:08:28 ==== Starting target OJ287 ====
03:08:28 ACPS Observation OJ287(1 of 1)
03:08:28   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan OJ287)
03:08:28   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:08:28 Pointing updates are enabled
03:08:28 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:08:29   Start slew to OJ287...
03:08:30   (wait for slew to complete)
03:09:25   (slew complete)
03:09:25     [flip check:  Tn=480s HAc=-1767s GW=T HAz=-1287s DWz=T WF=no]
03:09:25   Updating pointing...
03:09:25   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:09:25   Focus change of -290 steps required
03:09:29   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:09:29   (using Fast readout mode)
03:09:29   (starting exposure)
03:09:54   (exposure complete)
03:09:57   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:09:58   Image finished
03:09:58   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:09:58   391 image stars found
03:09:58   211 catalog stars found
03:10:00   Solved! 81 stars matched.
03:10:00   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
03:10:00   Pointing error is 1.472 arcmin @ angle 84.42
03:10:00   True focal length is 3468.5 mm.
03:10:00   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:10:00   True image center (J2000): 08h 54m 55.1s   20° 06' 39.18"
03:10:00   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
03:10:00   [sync] pointing model updated
03:10:00   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:10:00   Target is now centered.
03:10:00   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:10:00   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:10:00   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
03:10:00   Focus change of 320 steps required
03:10:03   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:10:16   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=549.6983 Y=738
03:10:16 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:10:16 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:10:29   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=708.6268 Y=456.9829
03:10:29 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:10:30 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
03:10:30 **Autoguiding failed.
