To get the right tracking rate with a bog std Autostar/Audiostar, you must set the tracking rate to custom = -3.
You can manually slew to the sun if required, or you can use the std technique of creating a fake asteriod that always hides behind the sun :-)
As per always, ensure all optics are protected properly before slewing or gotoing to the sun.

If you run patched firmware, you can get a bit better precision on the RA tracking rate if you want, but the scope wont track in DEC, so you can get a bit of drift over a long time.
