03:28:59 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20211201@032644 UTC
03:28:59 Imager readout modes:
03:28:59   0 is Fast
03:28:59   1 is Normal
03:28:59 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:28:59 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
03:28:59 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
03:28:59 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:29:04 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
