Pointing

The telescope pointing procedure is now done from the sequencer and has been tested and documented. The command records pointing accuracy from 72 stars, chosen from the GSC catalogue in an alt/az equidistant manner. The script is fully automatic, and takes around 1 hour to complete. The pointing data recorded were used to compute a new pointing model. This new script makes it much easier to do tests as it does not require human intervention.
