02:30:30 Imager readout modes:
02:30:30   0 is Fast
02:30:30   1 is Normal
02:30:30 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:30:30 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:30:30 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:30:30 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:30:30 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:30:30 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
