04:36:14 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230224@043501 UTC
04:36:14 Imager readout modes:
04:36:14   0 is Fast
04:36:14   1 is Normal
04:36:14 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:36:14 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:36:14 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:36:14 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:36:14 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:36:14 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:36:14 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:36:14 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
