FINDSTAR - Find a guide star

This command interactively finds a guide star, by searching up to 8 offset fields.

Adam:> FINDSTAR

There are no parameters but follow prompts.

This program finds guide stars by performing a number of offsets of the telescope so that the TV can find the autoguider field. It therefore searches across a large area of sky. Before starting each offset you MUST turn down the TV GAIN.
