Licensed to Arne Henden
02:57:03 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:57:03 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:57:03   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:57:03 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:57:04 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:57:04 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:57:04 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:57:04 Dome is MaxDome
02:57:04 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:57:04 Imager is ASCOM
02:57:04 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:57:04 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240507@025628 UTC
02:57:04 Imager readout modes:
02:57:04   0 is Fast
02:57:04   1 is Normal
02:57:04 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:57:04 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:57:04 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:57:04 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:57:04 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:57:04 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:57:04 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:57:04 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:57:04 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:57:04 ==== Starting target OJ287 ====
02:57:04 ACPS Observation OJ287(1 of 1)
02:57:04   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan OJ287)
02:57:04   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:57:04 Pointing updates are enabled
02:57:04 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:57:04   Start slew to OJ287...
02:57:06   (wait for slew to complete)
02:57:32   (slew complete)

02:57:32   Updating pointing...
02:57:32   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:57:32   Focus change of -50 steps required
02:57:35   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:57:35   (using Fast readout mode)
02:57:35   (starting exposure)
02:57:57   (exposure complete)
02:57:59   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:58:00   Image finished
02:58:00   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:58:01   309 image stars found
02:58:01   211 catalog stars found
02:58:02   Solved! 68 stars matched.
02:58:02   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
02:58:02   Pointing error is 4.480 arcmin @ angle 274.51
02:58:02   True focal length is 3465.4 mm.
02:58:02   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:58:02   True image center (J2000): 08h 54m 29.9s   20° 06' 51.67"
02:58:02   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
02:58:02   [sync] pointing model updated
02:58:02   Re-slew to target.
02:58:02   Start slew to OJ287...
02:58:03   (wait for slew to complete)
02:58:13   (slew complete)
02:58:13   Target is now centered.
02:58:13   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:58:13   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
02:58:13   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
02:58:13   Focus change of 320 steps required
02:58:17   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
02:58:30   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=602.3089 Y=59.1723
02:58:30 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:58:30 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
02:58:43   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=913.0089 Y=459.0025
02:58:44 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:58:44 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
02:58:44 **Autoguiding failed.
