05:18:46 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220416@051704 UTC
05:18:46 Imager readout modes:
05:18:46   0 is Fast
05:18:46   1 is Normal
05:18:46 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:18:46 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
05:18:46 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
05:18:46 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:18:51 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
