02:19:22 Imager readout modes:
02:19:22   0 is Fast
02:19:22   1 is Normal
02:19:22 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:19:22 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:19:22 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:19:22 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:19:22 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:19:29 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:19:29 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:19:29 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
