10:21:16 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20220316@101756 UTC
10:21:16 Imager readout modes:
10:21:16   0 is Fast
10:21:16   1 is Normal
10:21:16 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:21:16 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
10:21:16 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
10:21:16 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:21:21 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
10:21:21 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
