11:08:06 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:08:06 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250124@104615 UTC
11:08:06 Imager readout modes:
11:08:06   0 is Fast
11:08:06   1 is Normal
11:08:06 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:08:06 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:08:06 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:08:06 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:08:06 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:08:13 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:08:13 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:08:13 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:08:13 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
