LBC Message Display Area
This is a message area the program uses to give the user some information
when it is inappropriate to pop open a dialog requester. The possible
messages and their meanings are (there is currently only one):
- Waiting for telescope to stop moving. - it is time to
take a picture, but the telescope is moving, so the program is waiting for
the telescope to stop moving, before it takes the picture so as not to blur
the picture. Note that we do not currently have any way of knowing when
exactly the telescope is moving. So, we make do with a kludge. Small update
moves are totally ignored, so that it is possible to take a picture during
one of these moves. Larger telescope moves are assumed to last 7 seconds.
No pictures will be taken, therefore, within 7 seconds of a large move.
