As part of the align tab, the user enters an accuracy (in arc-seconds) for the error tolerance
in pointing the telescope to the target, but the error value calculated is not currently reported
in the UI. What is currently reported is the DEC d-m-s arc-second difference, and the RA h-m-s
difference (which is not arc-seconds), not the combined arc-second difference.
With this change, the difference in arc-seconds (directly comparable to the user's specification),
followed by the RA and DEC arc-second differences are printed in the UI. It is printed in green
if the specification is met, and red if it is not met.

- R321:16171346eb77: Directly specify arcsecond error in Align UI.
Run alignment with debug output, see the arcsecond error printed to the debug log console,
note that the errors printed match the values printed in the new Err UI box in Align, and
note that the printing is in red if the error is greater than the tolerance specified in Align,
or printed in green if the error is less.

Ok that makes sense. But we only have two states? green and red? I though we also have a "warning zone" as well in the graph?

Note sure I agree, but would be happy to add a color if you felt strongly about it. It seems like anything at or below the Accuracy spec should be green. I could add a yellow, but in what range would you recommend? Twice the accuracy? Within 1 arc-minute? ...

I found in the code that you have a yellow region between 1.0 and 1.5 x the accuracy threshold.
I'll modify it to do that.
