05:29:47 Imager readout modes:
05:29:47   0 is Fast
05:29:47   1 is Normal
05:29:47 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:29:47 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:29:47 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:29:47 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:29:47 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:29:47 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
