05:24:23 Imager readout modes:
05:24:23   0 is Fast
05:24:23   1 is Normal
05:24:23 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:24:23 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
05:24:23 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
05:24:23 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:24:28 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
