04:01:46 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:01:46 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220206@040108 UTC
04:01:46 Imager readout modes:
04:01:46   0 is Fast
04:01:46   1 is Normal
04:01:46 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:01:46 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
04:01:46 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
