10:05:41 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250124@091705 UTC
10:05:41 Imager readout modes:
10:05:41   0 is Fast
10:05:41   1 is Normal
10:05:41 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:05:41 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:05:41 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:05:41 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:05:42 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:05:49 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
