10:46:10 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:46:10 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20210224@103652 UTC
10:46:10 Imager readout modes:
10:46:10   0 is Image Quality
10:46:10 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:46:10 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
10:46:10 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
