 **Description**
-•       Verify the acquisition sequence for SHARK-NIR
+•       Adjust the orientation of the coronagraphic masks with respect to the true orientation of M2 spider.
 **Prerequisites**
-•       Atmospheric conditions: should be able to see bight stars on sky (preferably close to zenith?).
+•       Atmospheric conditions: should be able to see bight stars on the sky (preferably close to zenith?).
 •       Authorize SHARK-NIR on the SX side.
-•       Suitable bright enough target (including the possibility of performing AO).
+•       Suitable bright enough star close to zenith to have negligible effects from flexures (including the possibility of performing AO).
 **Procedure**
-•       Start the acquisition sequence: collimating the telescope to reduce the aberrations, close the loop and produce better ASM flat, NCPA estimation using phase-diversity algorithm, close SHARK-NIR tip-tilt+NCPA loop, and check the PSF quality at SCICAM. 
-•       Save telemetry (open and closed loop of the ALPAO DM).
+•       Pointing to a star, the first coronagraph is inserted in the path. The bearing is rotated maximizing the contrast achieved on the SCICAM.  (use the pupil lens to see the pupils alignment maybe)?
+•       This operation is repeated for all the coronagraphs. 
 **Success criteria**
-•       Successful acquisition sequence.
+•       All the coronograph are aligned to the true orientation of the M2 spider by maximizing the contrast at SCICAM. 
+•       Note down the contrast achieved for all the coronograph including the atmospheric conditions and the brightness of the on-axis star.
 **Notes**
 **LBTO support**
-•       Support from LBTI/LBTO?
-•       Presence of John Hill usually helps while collimating for first time. 
-•       Steve Allenson (as the TO) will be a great asset too.
+* SOUL-AO support
 **Associated SHARK-NIR personnel**
-•       JF, LM, MdP, MM (from AZ), DV?
