HR8799 is so far the only directly imaged multiple exoplanet system. The orbital configuration would, if better known, provide valuable insight into the formation and dynamical evolution of wide-orbit planetary systems. We present data which add to the astrometric monitoring of the planets HR8799b, c and d. We investigate how well the two simple cases of (i) a circular orbit and (ii) a face-on orbit fit the astrometric data for HR8799d over a total time baseline of ∼2years. The HR8799 planetary system was observed in L'-band with NACO at VLT. The results indicate that the orbit of HR8799d is inclined with respect to our line of sight, and suggest that the orbit is slightly eccentric or non-coplanar with the outer planets and debris disk.
