04:18:39 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:18:39 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20220316@041731 UTC
04:18:39 Imager readout modes:
04:18:39   0 is Fast
04:18:39   1 is Normal
04:18:39 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:18:39 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
04:18:39 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
04:18:39 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:18:44 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
04:18:44 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
