09:31:55 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250605@093118 UTC
09:31:55 Imager readout modes:
09:31:55   0 is Fast
09:31:55   1 is Normal
09:31:55 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:31:55 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:31:55 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
09:31:55 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:31:55 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:32:02 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:32:02 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:32:02 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:32:02 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
