02:44:31 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:44:31 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230206@024341 UTC
02:44:31 Imager readout modes:
02:44:31   0 is Fast
02:44:31   1 is Normal
02:44:31 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:44:31 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:44:31 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:44:31 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:44:31 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:44:31 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:44:31 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
