06:43:46 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240213@064215 UTC
06:43:46 Imager readout modes:
06:43:46   0 is Fast
06:43:46   1 is Normal
06:43:46 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:43:46 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:43:46 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:43:46 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:43:46 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:43:46 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:43:46 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:43:46 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:43:46 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
