05:30:33 Imager readout modes:
05:30:33   0 is Fast
05:30:33   1 is Normal
05:30:33 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:30:33 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:30:33 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:30:33 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:30:33 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:30:33 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:30:33 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:30:33 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:30:33 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
