Abstract
In a solid state star tracker of the type in which an array of image detectors is viewed and scanned with the video signals therefrom processed to determine star location, both horizontal and vertical location are determined using a crossover detector after the vertical information has been rotated or twisted to become horizontal information which can thereby be processed in the same manner as the horizontal information.
