03:39:00 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250206@033747 UTC
03:39:00 Imager readout modes:
03:39:00   0 is Fast
03:39:00   1 is Normal
03:39:00 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:39:00 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:39:00 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:39:00 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:39:00 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:39:07 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:39:07 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:39:07 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
