07:51:22 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240219@075016 UTC
07:51:22 Imager readout modes:
07:51:22   0 is Fast
07:51:22   1 is Normal
07:51:22 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:51:22 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:51:22 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:51:22 Guider is set to multi-star mode
