07:16:42 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240223@071610 UTC
07:16:42 Imager readout modes:
07:16:42   0 is Fast
07:16:42   1 is Normal
07:16:42 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:16:42 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:16:42 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
