05:14:55 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:14:55 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20220418@050801 UTC
05:14:55 Imager readout modes:
05:14:55   0 is Fast
05:14:55   1 is Normal
05:14:55 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:14:55 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
05:14:55 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
05:14:55 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:15:00 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
