03:37:01 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250605@033619 UTC
03:37:01 Imager readout modes:
03:37:01   0 is Fast
03:37:01   1 is Normal
03:37:01 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:37:01 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:37:01 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
03:37:01 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:37:01 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
