03:28:21 Imager readout modes:
03:28:21   0 is Fast
03:28:21   1 is Normal
03:28:21 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:28:21 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
03:28:21 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
03:28:21 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:28:26 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
