05:12:16 Imager readout modes:
05:12:16   0 is Fast

05:12:16 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:12:16 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
05:12:16 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
05:12:16 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:12:21 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
