07:09:32 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:09:32 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250115@070913 UTC
07:09:32 Imager readout modes:
07:09:32   0 is Fast
07:09:32   1 is Normal
07:09:32 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:09:32 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:09:32 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:09:32 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:09:32 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:09:40 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:09:40 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
