Do not point anywhere near the sun!

+1 ! You may need to readjust using a star at night but daytime land object gets you very close. Also try to sight a roadsign or something to confirm where left/right/up/down end up in the eyepiece. I would put markers on a postit note and stick to scope upright to where you'll be using the eyepiece. it forever confuses me which direction is which and which direction to move the scope when star hopping. handy to have a meaningful reference you've tested and validated yourself.
