Things I know:
The camera is in the middle of the shooter.

I'm using OpenCV with Python, if that's useful.
If your camera is mounted solidly then you should be able to interpolate the offset angle of your shooter by using the first option (how many pixels away from the middle the goal is). This isn't necessarily the best way to solve the problem but it works and it's really easy. Is that all you're asking?
