02:17:48 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220315@021719 UTC
02:17:48 Imager readout modes:
02:17:48   0 is Fast
02:17:48   1 is Normal
02:17:48 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:17:48 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
02:17:48 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
02:17:48 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:17:53 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
02:17:53 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
02:17:53 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:17:53 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
