10:52:07 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:52:07 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240217@105112 UTC
10:52:07 Imager readout modes:
10:52:07   0 is Fast
10:52:07   1 is Normal
10:52:07 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:52:07 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:52:07 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:52:07 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:52:07 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:52:07 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:52:07 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:52:07 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
