05:57:32 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240215@055521 UTC
05:57:32 Imager readout modes:
05:57:32   0 is Fast
05:57:32   1 is Normal
05:57:32 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:57:32 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:57:32 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:57:32 Guider is set to multi-star mode
