04:39:13 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:39:13 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250206@043837 UTC
04:39:13 Imager readout modes:
04:39:13   0 is Fast
04:39:13   1 is Normal
04:39:13 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:39:13 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:39:13 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:39:13 Guider is set to multi-star mode
