10:11:57 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:11:57 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20220428@100700 UTC
10:11:57 Imager readout modes:
10:11:57   0 is Fast
10:11:57   1 is Normal
10:11:57 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:11:57 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
10:11:57 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
10:11:57 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:12:02 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
10:12:02 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
10:12:02 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:12:02 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
