12:20:22 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:20:22 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250124@121833 UTC
12:20:22 Imager readout modes:
12:20:22   0 is Fast
12:20:22   1 is Normal
12:20:22 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:20:22 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:20:22 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:20:22 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:20:22 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:20:29 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:20:29 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:20:29 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:20:29 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
