Tracking the Sun using an EQ6Pro

[batema]

Hi,

For tracking the sun should I set my tracking to Siderial or solar rate. Probably a dumb question but I am unsure.

Thanks

There should be a solar rate and that is the one that I use on my Alt-Az goto scopes.

As Stu mentioned, set it to Solar. Remember a Solar day is slightly longer than a Sidereal day.
