07:39:52 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240625@073910 UTC
07:39:52 Imager readout modes:
07:39:52   0 is Fast
07:39:52   1 is Normal
07:39:52 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:39:52 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:39:52 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:39:52 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:39:52 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
