10:05:34 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:05:34 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220425@100412 UTC
10:05:34 Imager readout modes:
10:05:34   0 is Fast

10:05:34 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
10:05:34 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
10:05:34 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:05:39 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
