  At CEILAP (CITEDEF-CONICET), a multiangle LIDAR is under development to
monitor aerosol extinction coefficients in the frame of the CTA (Cherenkov
Telescope Array) Project. This is an initiative to build the next generation of
ground-based instruments to collect very high energy gamma-ray radiation (>10
GeV). The atmospheric conditions are very important for CTA observations, and
LIDARs play an important role in the measurement of the aerosol optical depth
at any direction. The LIDAR being developed at CEILAP was conceived to operate
in harsh environmental conditions during the shifts, and these working
conditions may produce misalignments. To minimize these effects, the telescopes
comprising the reception unit are controlled by a self-alignment system. This
paper describes the self-alignment method and hardware automation.
