04:22:45 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20240119@041949 UTC
04:22:45 Imager readout modes:
04:22:45   0 is Fast
04:22:45   1 is Normal
04:22:45 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:22:45 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:22:45 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:22:45 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:22:45 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
