10:14:48 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:14:48 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20220428@101417 UTC
10:14:48 Imager readout modes:
10:14:48   0 is Fast
10:14:48   1 is Normal
10:14:48 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:14:48 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
10:14:48 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
10:14:48 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:14:53 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
