:     That rotation with Camera_Rotation that you're suggesting... Okay,

: (positive or negative) ?

  Easyly. You first rotate around the X axis to the the altitude and then
around the Y axis to get the direction where we are looking from. Like this:
  camera
  { location -z*Distance
    look_at 0
    rotate x*Latitude rotate y*Longitude
    translate ObjectCenter
  }
