Abstract:
1. A device for viewing from a location at a time and date, said device comprising: a. viewing means to observe along a viewing axis defined by a first angle and a second angle; b. a processor; c. a 3-axis magnetic sensor adapted to provide the processor with a first set of data representing the first angle; d. a 3-axis gravitational sensor adapted to provide the processor with a second set of data representing the second angle; e. location means for providing location data representing the location to the processor; f. time means for providing time and date data representing the time and date to the processor; and g. a database adapted to be accessed by the processor and provide data such that the processor can determine the coordinates of right ascension and declination corresponding to the viewing axis based on the first set of data, the second set of data, the location data, and the time and date data.
