09:45:47 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:45:47 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20240708@094522 UTC
09:45:47 Imager readout modes:
09:45:47   0 is Fast
09:45:47   1 is Normal
09:45:47 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:45:47 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:45:47 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:45:47 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:45:47 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:45:47 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:45:47 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:45:47 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:45:47 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
