Damn. I've been so stupid all along.
My original idea should have worked
once Mark pointed my brain to where
it was lagging behind what my eyes
could easily see from a "technical"
drawing (scribbling is a better description).

Still, everything looked skewed and I
was wondering why there always were
some odd angles. And what was the
reason?
The camera wasn't look straight onto
the test-setup. Doh!

Ah well, still, thanks for the replies.
