01:56:02 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
01:56:02 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240215@015435 UTC
01:56:02 Imager readout modes:
01:56:02   0 is Fast
01:56:02   1 is Normal
01:56:02 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
01:56:02 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
01:56:02 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
01:56:02 Guider is set to multi-star mode
01:56:02 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
01:56:02 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
01:56:02 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
01:56:02 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
