10:48:01 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:48:01 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20220506@104131 UTC
10:48:02 Imager readout modes:
10:48:02   0 is Fast
10:48:02   1 is Normal
10:48:02 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:48:02 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
10:48:02 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
10:48:02 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:48:07 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
10:48:07 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
10:48:07 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:48:07 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
