11:12:27 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220316@111103 UTC
11:12:27 Imager readout modes:
11:12:27   0 is Fast
11:12:27   1 is Normal
11:12:27 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:12:27 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
11:12:27 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
11:12:27 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:12:32 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
11:12:32 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
