05:48:34 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:48:34 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20220206@054702 UTC
05:48:35 Imager readout modes:
05:48:35   0 is Fast
05:48:35   1 is Normal
05:48:35 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:48:35 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
05:48:35 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
05:48:35 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:48:40 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
05:48:40 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
05:48:40 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:48:40 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
