07:47:38 Imager readout modes:
07:47:38   0 is Fast
07:47:38   1 is Normal
07:47:38 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:47:38 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:47:38 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
07:47:38 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:47:38 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:47:45 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
