11:50:56 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:50:56 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250114@114901 UTC
11:50:56 Imager readout modes:
11:50:56   0 is Fast
11:50:56   1 is Normal
11:50:56 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:50:56 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:50:56 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:50:56 Guider is set to multi-star mode
