The plan is to limit the area where to select guide stars such that combined offsets can be done with less risk of loosing the guide star because the guide probe gets out of range or resulting in the guide probe vignetting the instrument. The objective is to allow for as big offsets as possible. Also, combined with a future automatic system to detect and center the guide star, a smaller area with less variation in distortion should provide a very accurate pointing of the telescope.
