     If one were to try and grab an image of discrete points (stars, in
this case) and try to compare the pattern to a star-map database, what
would be the fastest and most relevant algorithms for the pattern-
recognition involved?  This will be used for a prototype rocket guidance
system using a video camera and frame-grabber to provide a real-time
indication of attitude vector.
