Really!

OK, so we make a list of 112 stars with their (x,y) coordinates. - how accurate?? We can have 111 stars as their first match, 110 stars as their second match = 112 * 111 * 110 = rather a lot more than 227,000 (where did that number come from?).

Second: If the distance between s1 and s2 is small (ie very small in relation to the distance from the origin) how accurate is any measurement going to be?

Third: how do you determine 3 points are collinear? That is given 3 points (x1,y1).. how will you determine they are collinear and not run into problems with dividing values by other values close to zero.
