11:48:32 Selecting filter Open from previous ACP run at 20240217@114729 UTC
11:48:32 Imager readout modes:
11:48:32   0 is Fast
11:48:32   1 is Normal
11:48:32 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:48:32 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:48:32 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:48:32 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:48:32 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:48:32 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
