08:13:22 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:13:22 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250614@081242 UTC
08:13:22 Imager readout modes:
08:13:22   0 is Fast
08:13:22   1 is Normal
08:13:22 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:13:22 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:13:22 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
08:13:22 Guider is set to multi-star mode

08:13:30 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:13:30 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:13:30 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
