OK, more information.
It looks like the Meade hand controller may be going the way of the Vixen StarBook, and additionally include a DSI interface. The patent is for using a DSI type imager to do a fully automated alignment using on-board logic in the telescope itself. It also makes several references to having a high resolution display.
However, the caveat is that the patent is vague enough that the processing can be happening on a computer connected to the scope via an ethernet connection, so it doesn't necessarily mean that the hand controllers are getting an update. In the end it may all be handled through the autostar suite.
