10:00:41 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250610@095843 UTC
10:00:41 Imager readout modes:
10:00:41   0 is Fast
10:00:41   1 is Normal
10:00:41 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:00:41 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:00:41 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:00:41 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:00:41 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:00:48 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:00:48 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:00:48 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:00:48 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
