02:52:39 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:52:39 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220205@023923 UTC
02:52:39 Imager readout modes:
02:52:39   0 is Fast
02:52:39   1 is Normal
02:52:39 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:52:39 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
02:52:39 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
02:52:39 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:52:44 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
