09:14:20 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:14:20 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240710@091229 UTC
09:14:20 Imager readout modes:
09:14:20   0 is Fast
09:14:20   1 is Normal
09:14:20 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:14:20 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:14:20 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:14:20 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:14:20 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:14:20 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:14:20 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
