An image dissector tube high accuracy star/sun tracker has been designed for the Spacelab instrument pointing system recalibration. Stars with up to plus 8 M sub V can be acquired and tracked in a 2 deg x 2 deg field. Accuracy, noise excluded, is 0.75 arcsec; RSS and noise is less than 0.65 arcsec for an 8 M sub V star. Two-star operation is possible without modification, and the sun can also be tracked using a special attachment. Various applications of this type of sensor are possible for high accuracy pointing and fine attitude determination.
