10:36:15 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220212@102643 UTC
10:36:15 Imager readout modes:
10:36:15   0 is Fast
10:36:15   1 is Normal
10:36:15 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:36:15 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
10:36:15 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
10:36:15 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:36:20 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
10:36:20 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
