09:04:52 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:04:52 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250614@090411 UTC
09:04:52 Imager readout modes:
09:04:52   0 is Fast
09:04:52   1 is Normal
09:04:52 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:04:52 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:04:52 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
09:04:53 Guider is set to multi-star mode
