03:17:13 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
03:17:13 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:17:13   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:17:13 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:17:14 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:17:14 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:17:14 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:17:14 Dome is MaxDome
03:17:14 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:17:14 Imager is ASCOM
03:17:14 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:17:14 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250527@031617 UTC
03:17:14 Imager readout modes:
03:17:14   0 is Fast
03:17:14   1 is Normal
03:17:14 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:17:14 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:17:14 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
03:17:14 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:17:14 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:17:22 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:17:22 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:17:22 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:17:22 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

03:17:22 ACPS Observation OJ287(1 of 1)
03:17:22   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan OJ287)
03:17:22   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:17:22 Pointing updates are enabled
03:17:22 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:17:22   Start slew to OJ287...
03:17:24   (wait for slew to complete)
03:17:53   (slew complete)

03:17:53   Updating pointing...
03:17:53   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:17:53   Focus change of -50 steps required
03:17:56   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:17:56   (using Fast readout mode)
03:17:56   (starting exposure)
03:18:16   (exposure complete)
03:18:18   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:18:18   Camera temp (deg.C) = -7.8
03:18:19   Focuser position = 3324
03:18:19   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 23.5
03:18:19   Image finished
03:18:19   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:18:20   297 image stars found
03:18:20   211 catalog stars found
03:18:22   Solved! 64 stars matched.
03:18:22   Average residual is 0.29 arcsec.
03:18:22   Pointing error is 1.072 arcmin @ angle 333.69
03:18:22   True focal length is 3466.1 mm.
03:18:22   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:18:22   True image center (J2000): 08h 54m 46.9s   20° 07' 28.25"
03:18:22   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
03:18:22   [sync] pointing model updated
03:18:22   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:18:22   Target is now centered.
03:18:22   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:18:22   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:18:22   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
03:18:22   Focus change of 320 steps required
03:18:26   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:18:40   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1160.988 Y=865.0037
03:18:40 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:18:40 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:18:53   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1328.023 Y=612.6231
03:18:54 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:18:54 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
03:18:54 **Autoguiding failed.
