02:33:12 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20220316@023117 UTC
02:33:12 Imager readout modes:
02:33:12   0 is Fast

02:33:12 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:33:12 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
02:33:12 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
02:33:12 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:33:17 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
