# Find Misalignment

## Step 1: Take observations

* <mark style="color:red;">Run a specific polar alignment script to capture data for a wide range of HA?</mark>
* Run your PANOPTES unit to take observations overnight.
* Make sure the observations are uploaded to Google cloud storage.

## Step 2: Download drift data from the observations

* Beginner's tutorial on how to create, open and run a Jupyter notebook: <https://www.dataquest.io/blog/jupyter-notebook-tutorial/>
* Download the Jupyter notebook file `PANOPTES - 03 Drift Observation Polar Alignment.ipynb` in this [link](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/14kkXs1TpZZruQF1LR08h_mK0bik6dmQn?usp=share_link) to your local laptop/computer.
* Follow the steps in the Jupyter Notebook, run one cell at a time consecutively until you reach the end of the notebook.

## Step 3: Fix misalignment in your mount

* Use the al (deg) and az (deg) values obtained from the notebook to do the polar alignment as described in [Fix Misalignment](https://projectpanoptes.gitbook.io/pocs-user-guide/deploying/deployment-guide/polar-alignment/polar-aligning-panoptes/fix-misalignment).
