Sailor overlooked by Times or Sun (7)

I believe the answer is:

daystar

'sun' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'sailor overlooked by times' is the wordplay.
'sailor' becomes 'tar' (term for a sailor).
'overlooked by' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, some letters go above others).
'times' becomes 'days' (day is a unit of time).
'tar' put after 'days' is 'DAYSTAR'.

'or' is the link.

(Another definition for daystar that I've seen is " sun".)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
