10:43:42 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250704@104307 UTC
10:43:42 Imager readout modes:
10:43:42   0 is Fast
10:43:42   1 is Normal
10:43:42 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:43:42 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:43:42 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:43:42 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:43:42 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
