This PR takes advantages of the changes to lvmguider in version 0.5.

  • Adjusts Guider.focus() to use the updated lvmguider focus. Among other things the estimation of the best initial focus based on temperature now happens in lvmguider.
  • Adds Guider.adjust_focus() (and GuiderSet.adjust_focus() to make a quick adjustment to the focuser position based on the change in temperature since the last focus sweep.
  • Calls adjust_focus() before each dither exposure in the observing loop to prevent the focus from drifting.
