Chris and all,

Unfortunately, this is not possible with the Mark IV.  It can follow a star 
field only about /-20 degrees from the zenith.  However, there is a Mark IV 
in the East and the West of the US so there is the possibility of following 
a star for 5 or 6 hours weather permitting and the cats deciding that they 
want to herd.  There is some chance for the weather.  The cats are another 
matter.
