06:16:38 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20231013@060938 UTC
06:16:38 Imager readout modes:
06:16:38   0 is Fast
06:16:38   1 is Normal
06:16:38 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:16:38 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:16:38 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:16:38 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:16:38 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:16:38 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:16:38 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
