Enhanced targeting systems and methods may be used to visualize trajectories for surgical instruments. Such a targeting system may have a fixture that can be secured at a predetermined location relative to a patient a first light source attached to the fixture and a second light source attached to the fixture. The first light source may project first light along a first plane and the second light source may project second light along a second plane nonparallel to the first plane. At an intersection of the first and second planes the first light and the second light may cooperate to produce a targeting line that indicates the desired trajectory. A controller may be connected to first and second sets of motors to orient the first and second light sources respectively. The targeting line may be projected on a visualization aid that guides the surgical instrument along the trajectory.
