04:48:26 Imager readout modes:
04:48:26   0 is Fast
04:48:26   1 is Normal
04:48:26 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:48:26 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:48:26 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:48:26 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:48:26 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
