12:47:58 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250124@124350 UTC
12:47:58 Imager readout modes:
12:47:58   0 is Fast
12:47:58   1 is Normal
12:47:58 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:47:58 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:47:58 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:47:58 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:47:58 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
