Update guide rate
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The guide rate is used to adjust the tracking, which happens between
exposures. Typically guide rates are set at .5 * sidereal because the
correction happens during exposure so movement is minimized. Since we
are out of exposure we want the correction to happen as fast as possible.
.9 * sidereal is max.
