08:10:04 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:10:04 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220417@080512 UTC
08:10:04 Imager readout modes:
08:10:04   0 is Fast
08:10:04   1 is Normal
08:10:04 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:10:04 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
08:10:04 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
08:10:04 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:10:09 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
