Barry some of those are not really big issues.

The PST has the solar finder built in. I know where the Sun is, I don't need GOTO to make my mount find it for me so I don't need any 2-star alignment.

Even sidereal rate is close enough for tracking the sun, especially at the short focal lengths normally used for solar imaging. The hand controller satisfies the need to re-center.
