  We address the problem of measuring the relative angle between two "quantum
axes" made out of N1 and N2 spins. Closed forms of our fidelity-like figure of
merit are obtained for an arbitrary number of parallel spins. The asymptotic
regimes of large N1 and/or N2 are discussed in detail. The extension of the
concept "quantum axis" to more general situations is addressed. We give optimal
strategies when the first quantum axis is made out of parallel spins whereas
the second is a general state made out of two spins.
