10:06:33 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:06:33 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250114@100558 UTC
10:06:33 Imager readout modes:
10:06:33   0 is Fast
10:06:33   1 is Normal
10:06:33 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:06:33 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:06:33 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:06:33 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:06:33 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:06:41 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:06:41 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
