05:07:14 Imager readout modes:
05:07:14   0 is Fast
05:07:14   1 is Normal
05:07:14 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:07:14 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:07:14 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:07:14 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:07:14 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
