09:55:14 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:55:14 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20210205@082909 UTC
09:55:14 Imager readout modes:
09:55:14   0 is Image Quality
09:55:14 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:55:14 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
09:55:14 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:55:14 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:55:19 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.32 V = 0.32
09:55:19 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 17.8 V = 13.4
09:55:19 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:55:19 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
