05:51:06 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20250115@054922 UTC
05:51:06 Imager readout modes:
05:51:06   0 is Fast
05:51:06   1 is Normal
05:51:06 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:51:06 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:51:06 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:51:06 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:51:06 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
