Is it possible to lock the "look at" point of a camera to a moving object in
POV so the camera will always pan to follow the object.
Say, hmmm....a passing spaceship?

No question is dumb :)

Declare the position and use it to translate the ship and control the
camera. Here's how:

#declare ShipPosition = 10*x*clock;

object { Ship translate ShipPosition }

camera { location -10*z look_at ShipPosition }

That's the idea. HTH.
