11:53:36 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240328@114929 UTC
11:53:36 Imager readout modes:
11:53:36   0 is Fast
11:53:36   1 is Normal
11:53:36 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:53:36 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:53:36 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:53:36 Guider is set to multi-star mode
