11:00:45 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240507@105930 UTC
11:00:45 Imager readout modes:
11:00:45   0 is Fast
11:00:45   1 is Normal
11:00:45 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:00:45 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:00:45 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:00:45 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:00:45 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
