04:24:59 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:24:59 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20220212@042313 UTC
04:24:59 Imager readout modes:
04:24:59   0 is Fast
04:24:59   1 is Normal
04:24:59 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:24:59 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
04:24:59 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
04:24:59 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:25:04 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
04:25:04 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
04:25:04 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:25:04 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
