    A Bing translation:

    "The instrument, which is connected to a computer, recognizes the targeted stars; an inertial deals with angle measurements. Software handles calculations."

    We have the technology. ;) Just the other day I was looking at the "Sky Scout" over at Celestaire's page. It identifies the feature it's aimed at and produces trivia about it. Combine that with sensors similar to (but hopefully more accurate than) the ones found in most mobile phones today and throw in a Tamaya NC-2200 et voila!

    The device even appears to have a lens similar to that on the Sky Scout.

    Regards,
    Sean C.
