11:08:14 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:08:14 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240507@110618 UTC
11:08:14 Imager readout modes:
11:08:14   0 is Fast
11:08:14   1 is Normal
11:08:14 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:08:14 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:08:14 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:08:14 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:08:14 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:08:14 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
