While you're here, how about checking out the Astronomy Book List ?

I think I have a suggestion for Meade's next LX200 ROM release.

Given your exact position on earth (which you found out by taking a GPS
once to your observing site), you could set the time precisely enough it
seems by looking through the EP, looking a star doing its meridian
transit and clicking a button that udates the internal clock given your
LX200 knows what star you're looking at. Right? Why didn't they think of
that? Or am I wrong?
