I assume magnetic compass isn't good enough and it doesn't cost enough to have a gyro-compassing inertial. Does it scan the sky and estimate based on known objects, or do you have to sight in a specific star or something?
Basically you input your location and time. Then you can do a 2 or 3 bright star alignment on it and it will plate solve the pictures. After that you can use the database in it to look at over 44,000 celestial objects. I want to start with the moon and planets and work my way up to deeper space.
