A wide field-of-view celestial sighting system and method are provided. The method includes orienting an imaging optic to collect light from at least one light source, such as at least one celestial body, the imaging optic being secured to a platform. The method further includes selectively collecting light from the at least one celestial body through a selective light collector secured to the platform and positioned in an imaging surface, such as an imaging plane, of the imaging optic. The method further includes combining forward scattered light from the at least one celestial body to provide a combined forward scattered light, and detecting a light intensity of the combined forward scattered light. Systems for performing the method are provided.
