04:11:26 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240412@041033 UTC
04:11:26 Imager readout modes:
04:11:26   0 is Fast
04:11:26   1 is Normal
04:11:26 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:11:26 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:11:26 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:11:26 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:11:26 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:11:26 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
