04:18:25 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240224@041703 UTC
04:18:25 Imager readout modes:
04:18:25   0 is Fast
04:18:25   1 is Normal
04:18:25 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:18:25 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:18:25 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:18:25 Guider is set to multi-star mode
