04:26:47 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:26:48 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20220317@042533 UTC
04:26:48 Imager readout modes:
04:26:48   0 is Fast
04:26:48   1 is Normal
04:26:48 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:26:48 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
04:26:48 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
04:26:48 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:26:53 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
