03:15:02 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240213@031038 UTC
03:15:02 Imager readout modes:
03:15:02   0 is Fast
03:15:02   1 is Normal
03:15:02 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:15:02 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:15:02 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:15:02 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:15:02 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:15:02 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:15:02 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:15:02 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:15:02 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
