makepointing.coord that is a bunch of bright
stars emanating from just south of the zenith that are
evenly spaced.
You must specify either: east, west, north,
or south.
The stars are unique and go up to the telescope limits by
the number of degrees specified by buffer.
buffer= specifies how close in degrees to the limits the telescope will advance to. The default is 40 degrees.
catalog= specifies the catalog used to find the stars.
The default is yale, but sao or fk5
are valid options.
If you are sneaky, you might be able to add other
bright program options.
