06:11:31 Imager readout modes:
06:11:31   0 is Fast
06:11:31   1 is Normal
06:11:31 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:11:31 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:11:31 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:11:31 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:11:31 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:11:31 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:11:31 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:11:31 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
