10:37:27 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20220208@103323 UTC
10:37:27 Imager readout modes:
10:37:27   0 is Fast
10:37:27   1 is Normal
10:37:27 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:37:27 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
10:37:27 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
10:37:27 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:37:32 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
10:37:32 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
