06:34:37 Imager readout modes:
06:34:37   0 is Fast
06:34:37   1 is Normal
06:34:37 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:34:37 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:34:37 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:34:37 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:34:37 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:34:37 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:34:37 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:34:37 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:34:37 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
