The scope's scale should be not too hard to edit so that you can make star or sun readings quickly with it.
The thing with the split image I don't know though. What the modders did so far is to put some additional static images into the game, like those tables on the nav map. Or the FavDialsMod uses some certain script functions to print things onto the big (sliding dials) which gets printed onto the 3D models of the dials and gauges.
But maybe it's not possible to puzzle such screen data of the very dynamic exterior view together to get a split image like you mentioned.
