08:02:12 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:02:12 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240213@075956 UTC
08:02:12 Imager readout modes:
08:02:12   0 is Fast
08:02:12   1 is Normal
08:02:12 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:02:12 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:02:12 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:02:12 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:02:12 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:02:12 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:02:12 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
