09:08:33 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:08:33 Selecting filter SZ from previous ACP run at 20250623@090722 UTC
09:08:33 Imager readout modes:
09:08:33   0 is Fast
09:08:33   1 is Normal
09:08:33 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:08:33 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
