04:48:33 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:48:33 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20240224@044746 UTC
04:48:33 Imager readout modes:
04:48:33   0 is Fast
04:48:33   1 is Normal
04:48:33 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:48:33 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:48:33 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:48:33 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:48:33 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:48:33 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:48:33 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:48:33 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:48:33 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

04:49:00   Switching from R to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:49:00   Focus change of -270 steps required
04:49:04   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:49:04   (using Fast readout mode)
04:49:04   (starting exposure)
04:49:27   (exposure complete)
