04:10:54 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20220206@040957 UTC
04:10:54 Imager readout modes:
04:10:54   0 is Fast
04:10:54   1 is Normal
04:10:54 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:10:54 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
04:10:54 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
04:10:54 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:10:59 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
