12:31:11 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20220212@122353 UTC
12:31:11 Imager readout modes:
12:31:11   0 is Fast
12:31:11   1 is Normal
12:31:11 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:31:11 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
12:31:11 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
12:31:11 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:31:16 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
