05:01:36 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250526@050057 UTC
05:01:36 Imager readout modes:
05:01:36   0 is Fast
05:01:36   1 is Normal
05:01:36 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:01:36 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:01:36 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
05:01:36 Guider is set to multi-star mode
