Pointing

We are in the process of migrating the telescope pointing model procedure from the TCS to the sequencer which will allow for fully automated (and more specialized, e.g., by instrument) scripting of pointing tests. We are now at the point where sequencer scripts can be made to test the system in full. As the pointing itself, though not optimal, is very stable our main objective is to see if it varies significantly as a function of the instrument that is mounted before looking at improvements of the pointing.
