06:49:38 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:49:38 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250115@064628 UTC
06:49:38 Imager readout modes:
06:49:38   0 is Fast
06:49:38   1 is Normal
06:49:38 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:49:38 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:49:38 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:49:39 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:49:39 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:49:46 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:49:46 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:49:46 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:49:46 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
