06:38:17 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240223@063708 UTC
06:38:17 Imager readout modes:
06:38:17   0 is Fast
06:38:17   1 is Normal
06:38:17 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:38:17 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:38:17 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:38:17 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:38:17 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:38:17 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
