09:56:05 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:56:05 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250629@095458 UTC
09:56:05 Imager readout modes:
09:56:05   0 is Fast
09:56:05   1 is Normal
09:56:05 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:56:05 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:56:05 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
09:56:05 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:56:05 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:56:12 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:56:12 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:56:12 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:56:12 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
