03:31:28 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:31:28 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220409@033039 UTC
03:31:28 Imager readout modes:
03:31:28   0 is Fast
03:31:28   1 is Normal
03:31:28 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:31:28 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
03:31:28 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
03:31:28 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:31:33 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
03:31:33 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
03:31:33 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:31:33 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
