okay, not satellite related but... why couldn't a satellite or balloon have this gizmo on it and then the tracking device in the tripod automatically looks for that device and tracks it. keps would not be needed because the satellite is telling you where it is.

thought it was an interesting idea. the company's web site is www.soloshot.com

for the story at the houston chronicle we site..... Camera tracking device knows it's all about you:
