02:29:07 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:29:07 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220212@022754 UTC
02:29:07 Imager readout modes:
02:29:07   0 is Fast
02:29:07   1 is Normal
02:29:07 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:29:07 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
02:29:07 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
02:29:07 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:29:12 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
02:29:12 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
