09:21:43 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250524@091606 UTC
09:21:43 Imager readout modes:
09:21:43   0 is Fast

09:21:43 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:21:43 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:21:43 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:21:43 Guider is set to multi-star mode
