08:44:14 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20220316@083823 UTC
08:44:14 Imager readout modes:
08:44:14   0 is Fast
08:44:14   1 is Normal
08:44:14 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:44:14 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
08:44:14 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
08:44:14 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:44:19 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
08:44:19 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
