11:02:26 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:02:26 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240726@110127 UTC
11:02:26 Imager readout modes:
11:02:26   0 is Fast
11:02:26   1 is Normal
11:02:26 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:02:26 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:02:26 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:02:26 Guider is set to multi-star mode
