10:36:41 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20220425@103604 UTC
10:36:42 Imager readout modes:
10:36:42   0 is Fast
10:36:42   1 is Normal
10:36:42 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:36:42 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
10:36:42 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
10:36:42 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:36:47 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
10:36:47 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
10:36:47 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
