Licensed to Arne Henden
02:36:52 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:36:52 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:36:52   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:36:52 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:36:53 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:36:53 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:36:53 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:36:53 Dome is MaxDome
02:36:53 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:36:53 Imager is ASCOM
02:36:53 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:36:53 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240412@023613 UTC
02:36:53 Imager readout modes:
02:36:53   0 is Fast
02:36:53   1 is Normal
02:36:53 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:36:53 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:36:53 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:36:53 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:36:53 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:36:53 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:36:53 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:36:53 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:36:53 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:36:53 ==== Starting target OJ287 ====
02:36:53 ACPS Observation OJ287(1 of 1)
02:36:53   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan OJ287)
02:36:53   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:36:53 Pointing updates are enabled
02:36:53 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0

02:37:30   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:37:30   Focus change of -50 steps required
02:37:32   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:37:32   (using Fast readout mode)
02:37:32   (starting exposure)
02:37:54   (exposure complete)
02:37:56   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:37:57   Image finished
02:37:57   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:37:58   353 image stars found
02:37:58   211 catalog stars found
02:38:00   Solved! 88 stars matched.
02:38:00   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
02:38:00   Pointing error is 1.852 arcmin @ angle 285.27
02:38:00   True focal length is 3464.0 mm.
02:38:00   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:38:00   True image center (J2000): 08h 54m 41.3s   20° 06' 59.87"
02:38:00   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
02:38:00   [sync] pointing model updated
02:38:00   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:38:00   Target is now centered.
02:38:00   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:38:00   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
02:38:00   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
02:38:00   Focus change of 320 steps required
02:38:04   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
02:38:17   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=711 Y=329
02:38:17 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:38:17 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
02:38:30   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1293.652 Y=87.02244
02:38:31 **No stars at all found in guider image
02:38:31 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
02:38:31 **Autoguiding failed.
