07:24:53 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220407@071631 UTC
07:24:53 Imager readout modes:
07:24:53   0 is Fast
07:24:53   1 is Normal
07:24:53 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:24:53 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
07:24:53 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
07:24:53 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:24:58 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
