06:23:55 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:23:55 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250114@062318 UTC
06:23:55 Imager readout modes:
06:23:55   0 is Fast
06:23:55   1 is Normal
06:23:55 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:23:55 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:23:55 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:23:55 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:23:55 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
