09:51:41 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:51:42 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20220212@094802 UTC
09:51:42 Imager readout modes:
09:51:42   0 is Fast
09:51:42   1 is Normal
09:51:42 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:51:42 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
09:51:42 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
09:51:42 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:51:47 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
09:51:47 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
09:51:47 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
