06:28:44 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:28:44 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250124@062658 UTC
06:28:44 Imager readout modes:
06:28:44   0 is Fast
06:28:44   1 is Normal
06:28:44 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:28:44 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:28:44 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:28:44 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:28:44 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
