Claim 17:
18. A camera pointing facility, comprising:
a base,
a frame rotatably coupled to said base so as to define a first axis of rotation for said frame,
a first motor attached to said base and operably coupled to said frame,
a first camera operable to generate a video datastream and mounted to said frame,
a first processor operable to compute and transmit as data an azimuth orientation of said frame with respect to said base, and
a second processor operable to receive said video datastream from said first camera, operably coupled to a touch sensitive display screen, and operable to:
display on said display screen said video datastream from said first camera,
define and display a first touch sensitive region, and within said first touch sensitive region
define an origin with an ordinate and an abscissa both passing through said origin, and
upon operating to detect a contact point of a user's touch within said first touch sensitive region, said second processor is further operable to:
display a first cursor at a location of said user's contact point,
mathematically determine a target angle between said ordinate and a line passing through said origin and said contact point, and

wherein a processor from among said first and second processor is operable to determine a difference between said azimuth orientation of said frame and said target angle, and to actuate said first motor to rotate and orient said frame to said target angle.
