12:17:48 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240222@121531 UTC
12:17:48 Imager readout modes:
12:17:48   0 is Fast
12:17:48   1 is Normal
12:17:48 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:17:48 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:17:48 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:17:48 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:17:48 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:17:48 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:17:48 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
