08:03:54 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250610@075921 UTC
08:03:54 Imager readout modes:
08:03:54   0 is Fast
08:03:54   1 is Normal
08:03:54 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:03:54 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:03:54 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
08:03:54 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:03:54 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:04:02 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:04:02 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:04:02 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
