I'm trying to get all of my Geometry Nodes instances to point inwards along a Spiral Curve. With my current setup, they are tilting all around the Spiral rather than just being fixed facing inwards. Geometry Nodes Setup

How can I get them to rotate along the Spiral Curve and just point inwards: not tilt? I was able to create the desired effect using a Circular Array (image below), but I need to use Geometry Nodes.

Here is my .blend file:

Thank you.

In order to align the instances inward, you'll need the vectors that point inwards (or towards the center of the spiral). In this case, you can re-use the position of the points that belong to the spiral curve, get rid of the Z-axis, flip the other two remaining axes and then normalize it to get the needed directional vectors. This node setup below should be able to help you with your problem. enter image description here
