08:37:29 Imager readout modes:
08:37:29   0 is Fast
08:37:29   1 is Normal
08:37:29 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:37:29 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:37:29 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:37:29 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:37:29 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:37:37 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:37:37 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:37:37 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
