01:50:06 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20220212@014326 UTC
01:50:06 Imager readout modes:
01:50:06   0 is Fast
01:50:06   1 is Normal
01:50:06 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
01:50:06 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
01:50:06 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
01:50:06 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
01:50:11 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
