04:27:42 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:27:42 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250206@042408 UTC
04:27:42 Imager readout modes:
04:27:42   0 is Fast
04:27:42   1 is Normal
04:27:42 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:27:42 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:27:42 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:27:42 Guider is set to multi-star mode
