Eden - how does one guide in the near IR?

Hi David,

Near-IR guiding is done using an On-Axis Guider (ONAG). There are a few threads floating about on the forum here which discuss it in detail.

Multi-star guiding looks to be another promising addition to the guiding toolbox. I have been testing a developer build of OpenPHD with multi-star guiding support. It's still a bit raw, but there is a improvement over single star guiding albeit with a couple of caveats.
