07:19:14 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:19:14 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250124@071532 UTC
07:19:14 Imager readout modes:
07:19:14   0 is Fast
07:19:14   1 is Normal
07:19:14 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:19:14 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:19:14 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:19:14 Guider is set to multi-star mode
