03:41:01 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:41:01 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250524@034021 UTC
03:41:01 Imager readout modes:
03:41:01   0 is Fast
03:41:01   1 is Normal
03:41:01 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:41:01 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:41:01 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:41:01 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:41:01 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:41:09 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:41:09 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
