08:10:48 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:10:48 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240223@074547 UTC
08:10:48 Imager readout modes:
08:10:48   0 is Fast
08:10:48   1 is Normal
08:10:48 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:10:48 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:10:48 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:10:48 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:10:48 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:10:48 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
