07:15:57 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:15:57 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240222@071408 UTC
07:15:57 Imager readout modes:
07:15:57   0 is Fast
07:15:57   1 is Normal
07:15:57 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:15:57 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:15:57 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:15:57 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:15:57 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
