04:23:58 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:23:58 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240328@042215 UTC
04:23:58 Imager readout modes:
04:23:58   0 is Fast
04:23:58   1 is Normal
04:23:58 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:23:58 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:23:58 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:23:58 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:23:58 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:23:58 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:23:58 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
