We present a new method to reconstruct the arrival direction of individual air showers. The method is based in part on the arrival direction reconstruction method of Lessard et al. [1] from the Whipple collab oration, but yields a significant 30% improvement in the obtained angular resolution. The method was successfully tested on Monte Carlo Simulations and real data of Mkn 421, Mkn 501 and 1ES1959 from the HEGRA Cherenkov telescope CT1. Based on the same data an angular resolution of 0.1° could be derived.
