Disclosed in a certain example is a direct sun imaging star tracker that includes an imaging sensor and a baffle. The baffle includes a star port, a sun port, and a beam splitter. The star port is configured to image first viewing environment while the sun port is configured to image a second viewing environment that includes the sun. The beam splitter is configured to combine electromagnetic radiation from the star port and the sun port into a combined image. In various examples, the systems and techniques described herein allow a star tracker to simultaneously view both the sun and the stars.",
