03:22:43 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:22:43 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20220107@030103 UTC
03:22:43 Imager readout modes:
03:22:43   0 is Fast
03:22:43   1 is Normal
03:22:43 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:22:43 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
03:22:43 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
03:22:43 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:22:48 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
03:22:48 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
03:22:48 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
