03:37:59 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:37:59 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240118@033424 UTC
03:37:59 Imager readout modes:
03:37:59   0 is Fast
03:37:59   1 is Normal
03:37:59 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:37:59 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:37:59 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:37:59 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:37:59 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
