A method for determining the azimuthal direction of a maximum in a series of gamma ray count measurements that are each assigned to an azimuthal sector, comprising: determining the x- and y-components of the gamma ray counts for each sector, averaging the component values to obtain averaged x- and y-components, and calculating the corresponding aximuthal angle for the maximum by computing the arctangent of the ratio of the averaged y- and x-components.
