08:59:02 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:59:02 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20230327@085843 UTC
08:59:02 Imager readout modes:
08:59:02   0 is Fast
08:59:02   1 is Normal
08:59:02 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:59:02 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:59:02 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:59:02 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:59:02 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:59:02 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:59:02 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:59:02 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
