03:45:16 Imager readout modes:
03:45:16   0 is Fast
03:45:16   1 is Normal
03:45:16 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:45:16 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
03:45:16 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
03:45:16 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:45:21 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
03:45:21 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
03:45:21 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:45:21 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:45:21 ACPS Observation Pal_5(1 of 1)

03:45:42   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:45:42   No focus change required
03:45:42   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 2)

03:46:06   492 image stars found
03:46:07   172 catalog stars found
03:46:07 ** Failed to solve plate, possibly due to input plate scale being too far off.
