Description 
See this Comm Center message from Joel Hatfield, past of a long running thread on slow lookups that plague a few people. This is due to the lookup in FindBrightStar relying on exceptions coming back from ACP when the star is outside the safety limits. There needs to be a better way to do this like maybe calculate the alt and compare?

Also this message from Carlos Enrique Galavis. He has some ideas too.
