12:39:53 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240222@123820 UTC
12:39:53 Imager readout modes:
12:39:53   0 is Fast
12:39:53   1 is Normal
12:39:53 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:39:53 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:39:53 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:39:53 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:39:53 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:39:53 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
