09:06:15 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:06:15 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220417@090454 UTC
09:06:15 Imager readout modes:
09:06:15   0 is Fast
09:06:15   1 is Normal
09:06:15 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:06:15 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
09:06:15 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
09:06:15 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:06:20 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
09:06:20 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
09:06:20 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:06:20 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
