08:51:01 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:51:01 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250614@085021 UTC
08:51:01 Imager readout modes:
08:51:01   0 is Fast
08:51:01   1 is Normal
08:51:01 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:51:01 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:51:01 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
08:51:01 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:51:01 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:51:09 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:51:09 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:51:09 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:51:09 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
