The axis of the telescope of the sensor is parallel to a first line of sight to a first radiant body and a silvered mirror located at an angle of 45.degree. to the axis of the telescope provides a means to measure light from a second radiant body along a second line of sight 90.degree. displaced from the first line of sight. Additional means are provided to rotate and measure the mirror angle.
