  Change to using angle + 1 degree instead of 5 minutes. Much better. Thanks to Morgenthaler.

Duh! He pointed out that thisw adds 5 minutes unconditionally to all targets. His solution is much better. See the thread. WIll add this tomorrow.

  Increase time guard on WAITINLIMITS to 5 minutes to prevent slew failure edge conditions on horizon.
