03:41:22 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240127@033709 UTC
03:41:22 Imager readout modes:
03:41:22   0 is Fast
03:41:22   1 is Normal
03:41:22 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:41:22 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:41:22 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:41:22 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:41:22 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:41:22 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
