Start Guiding - handle no star selected with timeout and retry/reselecting a guide star

Issue #445 resolved
Jonathan MacCollum created an issue

When NINA tells phd2 to select a guide star and waits for phd2 to report back that guiding has started, but phd2 at the time fails to select a guide star (passing cloud for example) it would be nice to allow a sequence to attempt to recover from this event.

Manual recovery of this scenario works by manually selecting a guide star or selecting the auto select guide star in phd2 when the passing cloud leaves the fov.

Example start guiding logic:

  • Select a guide star
  • Wait up to 60s for phd2 to report it’s guiding
  • On timeout loop back to selecting a new guide star
