09:17:27 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:17:27 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240714@091615 UTC
09:17:27 Imager readout modes:
09:17:27   0 is Fast
09:17:27   1 is Normal
09:17:27 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:17:27 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:17:27 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:17:27 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:17:27 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:17:27 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:17:27 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:17:27 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:17:27 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
