06:52:57 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:52:57 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20240224@065220 UTC
06:52:57 Imager readout modes:
06:52:57   0 is Fast
06:52:57   1 is Normal
06:52:57 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:52:57 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:52:57 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:52:57 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:52:57 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:52:57 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:52:57 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:52:57 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:52:57 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
