Abstract We present a geometrical method to estimate the equatorial coordinates of the North Galactic Pole, using stars from the Milky Way disk. First we explain the method used and then, with 4 astronomical catalogs, we obtain the coordinates. We found that the results are not very accurate but are pretty close. This is mostly because the catalogs have extreme points or stars that are not uniformly distributed in the galactic disk
