07:42:16 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:42:16 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20220316@074002 UTC
07:42:16 Imager readout modes:
07:42:16   0 is Fast
07:42:16   1 is Normal
07:42:16 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:42:16 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
07:42:16 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
07:42:16 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:42:21 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
07:42:21 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
07:42:21 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
