04:15:38 Imager readout modes:
04:15:38   0 is Fast
04:15:38   1 is Normal
04:15:38 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:15:38 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:15:38 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:15:38 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:15:38 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:15:38 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
