 Ask the beamline scientist if the images are saved in a different orientation than the actual setup geometry.
-If this is not the case and the diffraction image on the screen is the same as the one you would see when we had a photofilm, everything is fine. If this is the case, you have to keep it in mind for the following steps.

 Have a look at the sample stage. In which orientation is the rotation taking place? Where is the rotation axis pointing?
-I guess in most setups the rotation axis of ω is pointing to the top or to the bottom (see figure 1). Other directions just make no sense. From this you can conclude that the shadow in our diffraction image has to be either on the right or on the left side of the image. With this information you can already exclude 4 out of the 8 possible orientations.

 === Step 3 ===
-Watch the sample stage carefully while it is rotating. Is it rotating clockwise or counterclockwise during the image acquisition?
+Look for the beamstop in the experimental setup. Where is it coming from? Where should it be in the image?
-Let's assume we observe that it is rotated **counterclockwise** when we look at it from top. This means that the image at ω1 = -20° should see a shadow on the left side. Think about it carefully and try to follow and understand this conclusion.
+For this example, let's assume it comes **from top**. Knowing where the beamstop is located, you can exclude two more possible orientations.
 === Step 4 ===
-After excluding another two of the possible orientations, we are left with only two possibilities. To find out the right one, you can compare your image with a still image which you took before or afterwards. Are there any features which are remarkable, such as a broken pixel on the detector or any other feature which you can see in every image? You can also compare the image at ω = 0° to see if there are recognizable diamond spots.

-If you find something like this, you are lucky. In the example
+If you have followed the example in the right way, you should have come up with the solution that Orientation #8 is the correct one (corresponds to O-matrix [0,-1,-1,0]).
