Jim Wilson suggested, about the hypothetical instrument I had suggested, a combination of camera and sextant- "You've just described a digital imaging sextant. Full circle." That sounded a plausible name so I tried Googling "digital imaging sextant". The only entry to come up, which contained all those words, was- "Digital rectal examination, imaging, and systematic-sextant biopsy ..." Somehow, I doubt whether that was what Jim was suggesting. Perhaps he will kindly explain in a bit more detail.
