08:55:07 Imager is ASCOM
08:55:07 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:55:07 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250623@085426 UTC
08:55:07 Imager readout modes:
08:55:07   0 is Fast
08:55:07   1 is Normal
08:55:07 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:55:07 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:55:07 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
08:55:07 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:55:07 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)

08:55:14 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:55:14 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:55:14 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
