I was thinking that the ends of the masts would be excellent places for a machine vision high-contrast target, and maybe also the bottom of the cupola for full 6 axis machine correction. I doubt we'll be taking a human out of the loop anytime soon, though.

It's a really simple task (so humans getting it wrong isn't a major concern), the crew needs to be on board, trained, and equipped with manual controls anyways (for contingencies), so... why spend effort automating it?
