06:59:38 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:59:38 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250605@065723 UTC
06:59:38 Imager readout modes:
06:59:38   0 is Fast
06:59:38   1 is Normal
06:59:38 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:59:38 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:59:38 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
06:59:38 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:59:38 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:59:45 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:59:45 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:59:45 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
