Abstract: In this article, we investigate, without the presence of Night Sky Background(NSB), the best pointing method which is independent of any deformation of the structure or mechanical effects. The method is direct and on real time, we will used the presence of stars in the photodetection plane during observation, to reconstruct the direction of the telescope. We will first present the method used to reconstruct the pointing direction in real time and then evaluate the impact of the different systematics on the pointing accuracy.
