04:59:24 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:59:24 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20211214@045217 UTC
04:59:24 Imager readout modes:
04:59:24   0 is Fast
04:59:24   1 is Normal
04:59:24 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:59:24 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
04:59:24 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
04:59:24 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:59:29 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
04:59:29 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
04:59:29 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
