Comment(by hamish):

 something thing to keep in mind as we work through these: GRASS's
 processing modules can be very(!) useful for processing imagery from
 scanning electron microscopes. Typical pixel resolution for that might be
 1 micron. aka the map units aren't necessarily in degrees, meters, or some
 flavor of feet.

 at the other end of things, for star catalog az,el,distance point data
 projected from a lat/lon import the map units might be parsec or light-
 years. (I suspect r.mapcalc et al. would also be highly useful for
 processing large telescope images)
