08:37:48 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250610@083642 UTC
08:37:48 Imager readout modes:
08:37:48   0 is Fast
08:37:48   1 is Normal
08:37:48 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:37:48 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:37:48 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
08:37:48 Guider is set to multi-star mode
