10:07:47 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:07:47 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240507@100711 UTC
10:07:47 Imager readout modes:
10:07:47   0 is Fast
10:07:47   1 is Normal
10:07:47 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:07:47 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:07:47 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:07:47 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:07:47 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:07:47 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
