04:17:00 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:17:00 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220204@041623 UTC
04:17:00 Imager readout modes:
04:17:00   0 is Fast
04:17:00   1 is Normal
04:17:00 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:17:00 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
04:17:00 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
04:17:00 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:17:05 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
