08:03:36 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:03:36 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250206@080240 UTC
08:03:36 Imager readout modes:
08:03:36   0 is Fast
08:03:36   1 is Normal
08:03:36 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:03:36 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:03:36 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:03:36 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:03:36 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:03:44 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:03:44 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:03:44 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:03:44 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
