02:38:08 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20220205@023640 UTC
02:38:08 Imager readout modes:
02:38:08   0 is Fast
02:38:08   1 is Normal
02:38:08 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:38:08 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
02:38:08 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
02:38:08 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:38:13 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
