A
pointing device for real-time pointing the dish of a dish antenna (1), in particular a marine dish antenna, to be housed within a
radome (21). The antenna comprises a dish (3) and a dish position adjusting means that achieves adjusting motions about an
azimuth axis (6), an elevation axis (7) and a
skew axis (8), the axes (6,7,8) having a
minimum distance from a reference point (12), preferably the centre point (13) of a domed portion (22) of
radome (21), wherein the reference point (12) is located closer to the front side (14) of the dish than to the rear side (15) of it, and wherein the dish position adjusting means comprises a driving actuating portion (27) integral to the support (2) and a driven actuating portion (28) integral to the dish (3) are provided which cooperate with each other to actuate the rotation about the
skew axis (8), the driven actuating portion (28) extending within the profile of the dish (3). This way, the adjusting motions are carried out defining a substantially
spherical space portion (26), whereby it is possible to house the dish antenna (1), in particular a Cassegrain type dish antenna, in
radome whose
diameter is smaller with respect to radome-housed dish antennas that are equipped with prior art pointing devices.
