06:20:19 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:20:19 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20220316@061849 UTC
06:20:19 Imager readout modes:
06:20:19   0 is Fast
06:20:19   1 is Normal
06:20:19 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:20:19 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
06:20:19 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
06:20:19 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:20:24 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
