The usefulness of angleaction variables in galaxy dynamics is well known, but their use is limited due to the difficulty of their calculation in realistic galaxy potentials. Here we present a method for estimating angleaction variables in a realistic Milky Way axisymmetric potential by locally fitting a Stackel potential over the region an orbit probes. The quality of the method is assessed by comparison with other known methods for estimating angleaction variables of a range of disc and halo-type orbits. We conclude by projecting the GenevaCopenhagen survey into angleaction space.
