09:37:41 Imager readout modes:
09:37:41   0 is Fast
09:37:41   1 is Normal
09:37:41 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:37:41 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:37:41 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:37:41 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:37:41 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:37:41 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:37:41 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
