03:28:47 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:28:47 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220212@032812 UTC
03:28:47 Imager readout modes:
03:28:47   0 is Fast
03:28:47   1 is Normal
03:28:47 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:28:47 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
03:28:47 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
03:28:47 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:28:52 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
