Abstrakt: Accurately tracking heliostats typically requires obtaining and using feedback to improve the aim. It is possible to obtain this feedback while tracking a heliostat to the receiver by using measurements of the circumsolar radiance reflected near the receiver to estimate the mirror orientation. It is beneficial to map the radiance of the circumsolar region and incorporate these maps when estimating mirror orientations. We present an implementation of such a system and discuss our results.
