Help needed please
MY son is Autistic, he has a Celestron Evolution 8″ Edge scope it is superbBUT, he wants to view the sun with his PSTIs there a way (as yet we can not understand how to align the scope at night) to place the PST on the mount (DONE ALREADY)) then align it with the SUN so that it TRACKSI have been told the SUN is somewhere in the hand controller but we can not locate it,many thanksThe sun is not automatically included in the list of targets for safety reasons. You need to set it up first. Here are some instructions, yours may be similar
“Note that to include the Sun in the list, you must first access the Menu button (UNDO back to the “Press ENTER to begin alignment” prompt), select Utilities and then Sun Menu. This is a one-time setting and will be stored for future use. ”

Dont forget to keep the main scope and finderscope covers on of course !
Cheers

I am not sure if selecting the sun automatically forces the mount to track at solar speed though. You may need to select this elsewhere in the hand controller menu.
