06:58:51 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:58:51 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250114@065815 UTC
06:58:51 Imager readout modes:
06:58:51   0 is Fast
06:58:51   1 is Normal
06:58:51 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:58:51 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:58:51 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:58:51 Guider is set to multi-star mode
