05:32:34 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20220407@053205 UTC
05:32:34 Imager readout modes:
05:32:34   0 is Fast
05:32:34   1 is Normal

05:32:34 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
05:32:34 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
05:32:34 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:32:39 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
