Not to vary the primary but to shut the chip on and off.
The idea of the scope was you marked the target on your screen and then centered the cross hairs and pulled the trigger but the thing did not fire until the computer agreed the target was in line.
Does anyone know what I am talking about?

Hi Alex,
Yes, I know the one. It's called tracking point. Some video >>>
In a roundabout way, we have that now, vide Speckle or Lucky Imaging, only using the images that are good enough or above a certain seeing threshold set in software (or by lowly humans) to stack for a better image, but I suppose the development would be to put it into one device/camera and one button press.
Best
