07:52:02 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20240217@075126 UTC
07:52:02 Imager readout modes:
07:52:02   0 is Fast
07:52:02   1 is Normal
07:52:02 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:52:02 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:52:02 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:52:02 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:52:02 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:52:02 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:52:02 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
