04:17:43 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240127@041513 UTC
04:17:43 Imager readout modes:
04:17:43   0 is Fast
04:17:43   1 is Normal
04:17:43 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:17:43 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:17:43 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:17:43 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:17:43 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:17:43 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
