03:44:27 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:44:27 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:44:27   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:44:27 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:44:28 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:44:28 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:44:28 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:44:28 Dome is MaxDome
03:44:28 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:44:28 Imager is ASCOM
03:44:28 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:44:28 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240412@034251 UTC
03:44:28 Imager readout modes:
03:44:28   0 is Fast
03:44:28   1 is Normal
03:44:28 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:44:28 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:44:28 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:44:28 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:44:28 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:44:28 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:44:28 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:44:28 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:44:28 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:44:28 ==== Starting target OJ287 ====
03:44:28 ACPS Observation OJ287(1 of 1)
03:44:28   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan OJ287)
03:44:28   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:44:29 Pointing updates are enabled
03:44:29 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:44:29   Start slew to OJ287...
03:44:30   (wait for slew to complete)
03:45:49   (slew complete)

03:45:49   Updating pointing...
03:45:49   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:45:49   Focus change of -320 steps required
03:45:53   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:45:54   (using Fast readout mode)
03:45:54   (starting exposure)
03:46:19   (exposure complete)
03:46:22   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:46:23   Image finished
03:46:23   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:46:23   371 image stars found
03:46:23   211 catalog stars found
03:46:25   Solved! 87 stars matched.
03:46:25   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
03:46:25   Pointing error is 2.775 arcmin @ angle 81.31
03:46:25   True focal length is 3467.4 mm.
03:46:25   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:46:25   True image center (J2000): 08h 55m 00.6s   20° 06' 55.74"
03:46:25   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
03:46:25   [sync] pointing model updated
03:46:25   Re-slew to target.
03:46:25   Start slew to OJ287...
03:46:26   (wait for slew to complete)
03:46:36   (slew complete)
03:46:36   Target is now centered.
03:46:36   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:46:36   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:46:36   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
03:46:36   Focus change of 320 steps required
03:46:40   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:46:53   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1228.68 Y=1001.993
03:46:54 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:46:54 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:47:07   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.102 Y=608.0374
03:47:07 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:47:07 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
03:47:07 **Autoguiding failed.
