11:04:27 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240219@110308 UTC
11:04:27 Imager readout modes:
11:04:27   0 is Fast
11:04:27   1 is Normal
11:04:27 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:04:27 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:04:27 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:04:27 Guider is set to multi-star mode
