11:29:31 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240213@112823 UTC
11:29:31 Imager readout modes:
11:29:31   0 is Fast
11:29:31   1 is Normal

11:29:31 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:29:31 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:29:31 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:29:31 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:29:31 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
