07:03:29 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240217@070201 UTC
07:03:29 Imager readout modes:
07:03:29   0 is Fast
07:03:29   1 is Normal
07:03:29 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:03:29 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:03:29 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:03:29 Guider is set to multi-star mode
