Greetings, Pascal. I’ve found this tool is very useful for orienting OBS data. I have a rather unique situation; a seismometer with the vertical channel oriented horizontally and the north horizontal channel pointing up. This is due to being deployed on bedrock, and the device is a long cylinder, so it is unable to be oriented properly. Because of this, the dip of the channels is not known, they are also labelled channels 1,2,3, instead of 1,2,Z.

Would it be possible to determine dip for these channels using either method with Orientpy? Would you consider including support for seismometer data without a pre-defined ‘Z’ channel? From my literature search, I haven’t found anything to address the question of an unknown dip.
