06:22:50 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:22:50 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240618@061838 UTC
06:22:50 Imager readout modes:
06:22:50   0 is Fast
06:22:50   1 is Normal
06:22:50 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:22:50 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:22:50 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:22:50 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:22:50 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:22:50 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:22:50 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
