04:45:12 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250526@042250 UTC
04:45:12 Imager readout modes:
04:45:12   0 is Fast
04:45:12   1 is Normal
04:45:12 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:45:12 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:45:12 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
04:45:12 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:45:12 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:45:20 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
