08:15:57 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:15:57 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220418@074813 UTC
08:15:57 Imager readout modes:
08:15:57   0 is Fast
08:15:57   1 is Normal
08:15:57 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:15:57 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
08:15:57 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
08:15:57 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:16:02 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
08:16:02 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
08:16:02 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:16:02 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
