10:39:01 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:39:01 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250629@103825 UTC
10:39:01 Imager readout modes:
10:39:01   0 is Fast
10:39:01   1 is Normal
10:39:01 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:39:01 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:39:01 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:39:02 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:39:02 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:39:09 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:39:09 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:39:09 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:39:09 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
