09:14:38 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:14:38 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250206@084112 UTC
09:14:38 Imager readout modes:
09:14:38   0 is Fast
09:14:38   1 is Normal
09:14:38 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:14:38 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:14:38 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:14:38 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:14:38 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:14:45 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:14:45 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:14:45 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:14:45 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
