Meade LX90 has no option to track the sun...??

[Astroboffin]

Hi, went outside today with my new Lunt Herschell white light solar wedge to try a bit of solar work, and to my surprise, there is no option on the LX90 to track the sun, or if there is then I could not find it, am I missing something here??

And before anybody asks, no I was not using the wedge on the meade scope, but on my refractor which is piggybacked onto it, just needed the meade for tracking purposes.

Had to goto the moon, which is obviously close to the sun ATM and then manually move from there.

So what

Did meade not put our Sun in the database of objects, I assume for safety reasons.??

Or is it there and I have not found it?

Regards

yes, safety precludes them adding the sun - after all, some of the folks who use the scope are American
