09:14:52 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:14:52 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240215@091346 UTC
09:14:52 Imager readout modes:
09:14:52   0 is Fast
09:14:52   1 is Normal
09:14:52 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:14:52 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:14:52 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:14:52 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:14:52 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:14:52 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
