09:08:44 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250614@090733 UTC
09:08:44 Imager readout modes:
09:08:44   0 is Fast
09:08:44   1 is Normal
09:08:44 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:08:44 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:08:44 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
09:08:44 Guider is set to multi-star mode
