02:04:04 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II

02:04:04 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240119@015853 UTC
02:04:04 Imager readout modes:
02:04:04   0 is Fast
02:04:04   1 is Normal
02:04:04 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:04:04 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:04:04 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:04:05 Guider is set to multi-star mode

02:04:26   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:04:26   Focus change of -290 steps required
02:04:29   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:04:29   (using Fast readout mode)
02:04:29   (starting exposure)
02:04:54   (exposure complete)
