01:57:06 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
01:57:06 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230206@014624 UTC
01:57:06 Imager readout modes:
01:57:06   0 is Fast
01:57:06   1 is Normal
01:57:06 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
01:57:06 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
01:57:06 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
