   I was referring to measuring the brightness of a certain star at given   
   time, which required careful alignment and distortion correction. Your   
   needed level of alignment is easy to do.   
      
   The suggested cameras and fisheye lenses in the Indi Allsky project are   
   very sensitive and also sunlight tolerant, so this should be easy - if   
   you can do some simple image analysis (AI can help you to code this!)
