03:34:07 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240215@033302 UTC
03:34:07 Imager readout modes:
03:34:07   0 is Fast
03:34:07   1 is Normal
03:34:07 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:34:07 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:34:07 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:34:07 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:34:07 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:34:07 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:34:07 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:34:07 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:34:07 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
