Autoguider

We plan to develop and implement an automatic guide star detection and centering system which should improve efficiency of observing and allow a more automated way of observing. It should also improve the capabilities for remote observing with the telescope.

The external USB disk holding the guide star server catalog has been replaced with an external raid box, holding two disks in a mirror configuration. We will therefore always have a working guide star server in case of disk failures.
