Observing system

An update of the control program for the FASU filter wheels was made in order to make it possible to move both FASU wheels simultaneously when observing with MOSCA. The sequencer command mosca.wheels that set the FASU filter wheels was optimised such that it will move both wheels at the same time when commanded, instead of moving one wheel at the time.

An update to the MOSCA focusing procedure was made, where the script now will check that the field rotation is default as otherwise the data can not be automatically analysed.

As a further improvement, the focus script will be upgrade to include the automatic selection of a focus field, the positioning of the telescope to this field, analyse the data, and applying the resulting best focus in a similar way as already existing for ALFOSC.
