12:14:22 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240223@120824 UTC
12:14:22 Imager readout modes:
12:14:22   0 is Fast
12:14:22   1 is Normal
12:14:22 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:14:22 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:14:22 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:14:22 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:14:22 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:14:22 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:14:22 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:14:22 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:14:22 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
