Good. I'd say they've done it for the eclipse next year. I saw a review by a solar observer using a Skywatcher All View mount who specifically pointed out that Skywatcher seemed to have gone out of their way to defeat daytime one-star alignment using the Sun, and that the Sun was removed from the list of objects for GOTO slewing.

I can understand why they might have done that for safety reasons but it is a PITA if you actually did want to slew and track the sun.

Now I know what mount I'm buying
