04:17:56 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220205@041719 UTC
04:17:56 Imager readout modes:
04:17:56   0 is Fast
04:17:56   1 is Normal
04:17:56 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:17:56 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
04:17:56 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
