08:19:45 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250610@081816 UTC
08:19:45 Imager readout modes:
08:19:45   0 is Fast
08:19:45   1 is Normal
08:19:45 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:19:45 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:19:45 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
08:19:45 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:19:45 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:19:53 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:19:53 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
