04:26:11 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:26:11 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20231013@041823 UTC
04:26:11 Imager readout modes:
04:26:11   0 is Fast
04:26:11   1 is Normal
04:26:11 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:26:11 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:26:11 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:26:11 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:26:11 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:26:11 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:26:11 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
