04:23:17 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240215@042225 UTC
04:23:17 Imager readout modes:
04:23:17   0 is Fast
04:23:17   1 is Normal
04:23:17 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:23:17 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:23:17 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:23:17 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:23:17 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:23:17 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:23:17 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:23:17 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:23:17 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
