05:51:36 Imager readout modes:
05:51:36   0 is Fast
05:51:36   1 is Normal
05:51:36 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:51:36 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:51:36 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:51:36 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:51:36 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:51:36 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:51:36 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:51:36 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
