04:14:24 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220204@041355 UTC
04:14:24 Imager readout modes:
04:14:24   0 is Fast
04:14:24   1 is Normal
04:14:24 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:14:24 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
04:14:24 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
04:14:24 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:14:29 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
