07:25:12 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240213@072413 UTC
07:25:12 Imager readout modes:
07:25:12   0 is Fast
07:25:12   1 is Normal
07:25:12 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:25:12 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:25:12 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:25:12 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:25:12 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:25:12 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:25:12 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:25:12 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
