02:13:07 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250206@021000 UTC
02:13:07 Imager readout modes:
02:13:07   0 is Fast
02:13:07   1 is Normal
02:13:07 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:13:07 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:13:07 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:13:07 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:13:07 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:13:15 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:13:15 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:13:15 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:13:15 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
