03:57:57 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:57:57 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20220417@035459 UTC
03:57:57 Imager readout modes:
03:57:57   0 is Fast
03:57:57   1 is Normal
03:57:57 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:57:57 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
03:57:57 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
03:57:57 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:58:02 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
03:58:02 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
03:58:02 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:58:02 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
