In-camera sky tracking without an equatorial mount
Pentax has this feature in some of their DSLRs. The sensor utilizes it's IBIS (internal vibration stabilization) mode of the sensor, but the motion tracks the sky. So, all you have to do is put the camera on a tripod, point it at the sky, and shoot. No separate tracking platform needed. Of course, it has limitations, but it seems like a very nice option in a camera.
