03:02:16 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:02:16 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20220409@025757 UTC
03:02:16 Imager readout modes:
03:02:17   0 is Fast
03:02:17   1 is Normal
03:02:17 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:02:17 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
03:02:17 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
03:02:17 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:02:22 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
03:02:22 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
