Is there a way to determine your location in space?

Now that we can put stars in other galaxies is there a way to find your location in terms of RA and Dec?

For example if I fly to the M33 galaxy and place myself on the outer edge is there a way to determine where I am in RA and Dec?

It can be done quite easily with a celx script. This would be a useful one for someone to write.

I hope somebody does because that would be more than useful :)

You'll find a script that displays geocentric coordinates for observer here:
