I'm not very familiar with astronomy but it seems like this could be
handled by an HP.

Orion has a GOTO gizmo which, when fed coordinates from a user's
setting rings for two bright stars, translates the information in it's
database to user setting rings numbers. This allows the user to find
stars in the gizmo's database using their own setting ring numbers
(the translation function depends on the orientation, where, and when
of the telescope)

Anything like that out there for the HP (or PC)?
