05:49:01 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:49:01 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250207@054827 UTC
05:49:01 Imager readout modes:
05:49:01   0 is Fast
05:49:01   1 is Normal
05:49:01 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:49:01 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:49:01 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:49:01 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:49:01 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:49:08 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:49:08 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:49:08 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:49:08 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
