04:02:39 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20231013@040049 UTC
04:02:39 Imager readout modes:
04:02:39   0 is Fast
04:02:39   1 is Normal
04:02:39 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:02:39 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:02:39 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:02:39 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:02:39 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
