09:28:27 Imager readout modes:
09:28:27   0 is Fast
09:28:27   1 is Normal
09:28:27 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:28:27 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:28:27 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
09:28:27 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:28:27 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
