03:53:51 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220209@034304 UTC
03:53:51 Imager readout modes:
03:53:51   0 is Fast
03:53:51   1 is Normal
03:53:51 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:53:51 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
03:53:51 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
03:53:51 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:53:56 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
03:53:56 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
