07:12:44 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250610@071117 UTC
07:12:44 Imager readout modes:
07:12:44   0 is Fast
07:12:44   1 is Normal
07:12:44 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:12:44 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:12:44 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
07:12:44 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:12:44 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:12:51 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:12:51 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
