03:35:42 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240213@033416 UTC
03:35:42 Imager readout modes:
03:35:42   0 is Fast
03:35:42   1 is Normal
03:35:42 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:35:42 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:35:42 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:35:42 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:35:42 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:35:42 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:35:42 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:35:42 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:35:42 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
