Hi:
Maybe this could be done with GPS or higher frequencies so the angular
resolution would be better?

Brooke,
The problem in radio ground observation can be resolution accuracy, but there's also a good transmission into far
infrared wavelengths, which could require smaller dishes to get stellar images. The problem of far IR is the cost of
right filters/sensor, which are a bit difficult to find.
Radio objects, on the other hand, can be solved using an interferometer: LOFAR interferometers work at frequencies
higher than 10MHz, frequencies totally transparent to the atmosphere and easily computable even by consumer PCs. There
is some work done with common PCs using two RTL-SDR dongles and two satellite dishes.

Best Regards,
Ilia.

Hi Anders:
That's something I've thought about for decades using an optical system. A few years ago I looked at it again and
found that astronomical "seeing" limits the accuracy. So the accuracy achieved by a spaceborne "Stellar compass"
will be much better than a ground based observation. A radio based observation might work since the atmosphere would
not be a factor.
