03:56:13 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20220515@034218 UTC
03:56:13 Imager readout modes:
03:56:13   0 is Fast
03:56:13   1 is Normal
03:56:13 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:56:13 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
03:56:13 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
03:56:13 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:56:18 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
03:56:18 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
03:56:18 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:56:18 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
