10:10:06 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:10:07 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220315@095931 UTC
10:10:07 Imager readout modes:
10:10:07   0 is Fast
10:10:07   1 is Normal
10:10:07 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:10:07 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
10:10:07 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
10:10:07 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:10:12 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
10:10:12 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
10:10:12 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
