I haven't figured out how to do that. It may be in the instructions, but
so far the only way I'm sure will work is "get there the night before
and set it up."

4) A ballhead that is good enough for landscape work isn't necessarily
good enough for photographing the sun. With the camera at that steep
angle, once I tightened it down, things would still flex, which meant
aiming took a lot of time.
About a third of the way through I figured out it was easier to leave
the ball head alone once I got it locked down & adjust tripod legs to
keep the image in the frame using Live View.
If I live long enough to make it to the 2024 eclipse, I'm going to have
some kind of astro-tracker that will mount two cameras and I'm going to
be on site the night before so I can set it up using the north star.
