07:31:36 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240219@073103 UTC
07:31:36 Imager readout modes:
07:31:36   0 is Fast
07:31:36   1 is Normal
07:31:36 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:31:36 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:31:36 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:31:36 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:31:36 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
