04:11:59 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:11:59 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20250124@041139 UTC
04:11:59 Imager readout modes:
04:11:59   0 is Fast
04:11:59   1 is Normal
04:11:59 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:11:59 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:11:59 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:11:59 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:11:59 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:12:06 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:12:06 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:12:06 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:12:06 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
