07:46:51 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:46:51 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240625@074447 UTC
07:46:51 Imager readout modes:
07:46:51   0 is Fast
07:46:51   1 is Normal
07:46:51 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:46:51 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:46:51 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:46:51 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:46:51 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
