10:37:30 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:37:30 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20220205@103433 UTC
10:37:30 Imager readout modes:
10:37:30   0 is Fast
10:37:30   1 is Normal
10:37:30 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:37:30 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
10:37:30 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
10:37:30 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:37:35 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
10:37:35 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
