01:56:24 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
01:56:24 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20220212@015152 UTC
01:56:24 Imager readout modes:
01:56:24   0 is Fast
01:56:24   1 is Normal
01:56:24 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
01:56:24 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
01:56:24 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
01:56:24 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
01:56:29 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
01:56:29 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
