06:09:04 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20220212@060722 UTC
06:09:04 Imager readout modes:
06:09:04   0 is Fast
06:09:04   1 is Normal
06:09:04 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:09:04 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
06:09:04 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
