06:26:54 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:26:54 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20231013@062022 UTC
06:26:54 Imager readout modes:
06:26:54   0 is Fast
06:26:54   1 is Normal
06:26:54 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:26:54 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:26:54 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:26:54 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:26:54 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:26:54 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:26:54 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:26:54 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
