02:47:27 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250206@024447 UTC
02:47:27 Imager readout modes:
02:47:27   0 is Fast
02:47:27   1 is Normal
02:47:27 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:47:27 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:47:27 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:47:27 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:47:27 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:47:34 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:47:34 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:47:34 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
