Description	The Star Track Model keeps the antenna pointed at a specific
	star by compensating for the rotation of the earth.
	It requires the co-ordinates of the star to be input together
	with the date and time of those co-ordinates.
	The model is then built using above data and the Station Co-
	ordinates. (see Station Co-ordinates menu on page 33)
	Menu Key 6 (Next Field) steps the edit box through the eight
	data fields. The data is entered using the Numeric Keypad.
	Pressing ENTER accepts the displayed data and enters Star
	Track mode.
Note	This facility is used for engineering purposes.
