Autoguider

The guide-probe head supplied by CUO was installed. The increased field of view for the guide probe was determined for ALFOSC and MOSCA and the guide star server software was updated to include this.

For use with FRED we still need an upgrade for the existing aging TV camera, and a new 3rd generation intensified camera was ordered which is expected to provide at least a 2-3 mag improvement over the current system.
