05:52:48 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:52:48 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20220421@054847 UTC
05:52:49 Imager readout modes:
05:52:49   0 is Fast
05:52:49   1 is Normal
05:52:49 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:52:49 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
05:52:49 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
05:52:49 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:52:54 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
05:52:54 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
05:52:54 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:52:54 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
