10:43:50 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:43:50 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250610@104304 UTC
10:43:50 Imager readout modes:
10:43:50   0 is Fast
10:43:50   1 is Normal
10:43:50 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:43:50 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:43:50 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:43:50 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:43:50 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
