01:39:59 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
01:39:59 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250115@013341 UTC
01:39:59 Imager readout modes:
01:39:59   0 is Fast
01:39:59   1 is Normal
01:39:59 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
01:39:59 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
01:39:59 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
01:39:59 Guider is set to multi-star mode
01:39:59 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
01:40:06 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
01:40:06 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
01:40:06 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
01:40:06 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
