11:05:28 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:05:28 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20210209@110144 UTC
11:05:28 Imager readout modes:
11:05:28   0 is Image Quality

11:05:28 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
11:05:28 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
