05:16:54 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:16:54 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20220421@051618 UTC
05:16:54 Imager readout modes:
05:16:54   0 is Fast
05:16:54   1 is Normal
05:16:54 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:16:54 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
05:16:54 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
05:16:54 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:17:00 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
05:17:00 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
