09:14:01 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:14:01 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240726@091321 UTC
09:14:01 Imager readout modes:
09:14:01   0 is Fast
09:14:01   1 is Normal
09:14:01 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:14:01 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:14:01 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:14:01 Guider is set to multi-star mode
