08:46:59 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:46:59 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240625@084512 UTC
08:46:59 Imager readout modes:
08:46:59   0 is Fast
08:46:59   1 is Normal
08:46:59 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:46:59 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:46:59 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:46:59 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:46:59 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:46:59 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:46:59 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:46:59 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:46:59 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
