05:58:42 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:58:42 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20231013@055816 UTC
05:58:42 Imager readout modes:
05:58:42   0 is Fast
05:58:42   1 is Normal
05:58:42 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:58:42 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:58:42 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:58:42 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:58:42 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:58:42 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:58:42 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
