08:57:57 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:57:57 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20250114@085720 UTC
08:57:57 Imager readout modes:
08:57:57   0 is Fast
08:57:57   1 is Normal
08:57:57 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:57:57 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:57:57 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:57:57 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:57:57 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
