Thanks for your speedy replies Larry & Andrew!

At least I can now stop searching for how to do it.

My guess would be some issue with legal liability: if you manually point at the sun (with no solar filter) and evaporate an eyeball, that's your dumb fault.

If the mount takes you there by GoTo & the same thing happens, then SW may incur some degree of legal liability or culpability.

A shame - instead I'll continue doing a Mercury GoTo (to get close) + manually slew the last bit.

Cheers!

Dean
