/* Autoguiding */
This brings up a finder chart and a coordinates box. To start guiding:
*On the main autoguider GUI, if using SHOC select Slide 0; or Slide 1 for Sibonise.*If the status of any of the error codes (Err, XLL, XUL, YLL or YUL) is 1, click RESET, then INITIALISE.*To start continuous exposures with the autoguider Lodestar camera, enter a number (~2 seconds) in the box on the right, and click CONTINUOUS.*Enter the target coordinates in the pink box and check that a finder chart of your field loads.*Guide stars are to be selected from outside the green box in the finder chart image. When North is Up in the SHOC/Sibonise image, select a guide star from the lower half of the image, with X<20000 and Y<15000. As Y approaches 10000 it begins to vignette the SHOC field, so try to choose a guide star at low Y.*On the XY Slide Control section of the main GUI, click "Goto GS". This will send the XY slides to the position you clicked on the finder chart software. If it doesn't, read the coordinates of the guide star off the image and enter them manually; when the position is reached click "Pick guide star" and click on your chosen star in the guide camera image.*Click the red GUIDE button - it should turn green to indicate that it is guiding.*FAKE should always be green "Fake is OFF" while guiding - this is a test function for engineering purposes.
