Navigate website

Website developed using React + Typescript.

This tool will be used to configure the telescope and its subsystems to point and track a celestial object during an observation. Navigate is a web application with a single centralized server that communicates with the different real-time control systems of the telescope. It also will communicate with other apps in the Gemini Program Platform (GPP) ecosystem, such as Observe and Chronicle.
