08:18:50 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:18:50 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250207@081815 UTC
08:18:50 Imager readout modes:
08:18:50   0 is Fast
08:18:50   1 is Normal
08:18:50 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:18:50 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:18:50 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:18:50 Guider is set to multi-star mode
