04:27:01 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:27:01 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250207@042230 UTC
04:27:01 Imager readout modes:
04:27:01   0 is Fast
04:27:01   1 is Normal
04:27:01 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:27:01 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:27:01 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:27:01 Guider is set to multi-star mode
