06:19:49 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20240127@061630 UTC
06:19:49 Imager readout modes:
06:19:49   0 is Fast
06:19:49   1 is Normal
06:19:49 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:19:49 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:19:49 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:19:49 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:19:49 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:19:49 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:19:49 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
