09:43:41 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:43:41 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250206@093637 UTC
09:43:41 Imager readout modes:
09:43:41   0 is Fast
09:43:41   1 is Normal
09:43:41 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:43:41 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:43:41 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:43:41 Guider is set to multi-star mode
