I guess what I'm asking is would the stars in the sky on a certain date and position in the globe look the same to the player as it would to a person if they were looking at the sky at that time in real-life, that would be amazing for sh3 if it were the case.
From what I remember the stars were accurate 'enough'... To which date I'm not sure, but this shouldn't be a problem as you use the almanac for that year.

The optics of the cameras were difficult to work with but it looks like it was a SIN (COS) function of sorts. If you play with the camera magnifications you'll fook the POV angles. I looked at trying to extract and display the elevation angle of the scopes, but this didn't happen. If you can do this you'll should get good accuracy.
