ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have previously found that it can sometimes pop up this message when doing a
meridian flip while I am tracking the Sun (although this is intermittant)
There is usually some drift while tracking and I usually just slew it again to
centre it but it pops up the warning each time, which is annoying.
** Suggestions **
There is no point asking the question if you are already tracking the Sun.
My suggestion is that if you already within 2 degrees (or a user definable)
distance from the Sun then it should skip the message.
Also, it should pop up the message if you attempt to slew to within 2 degrees
(or a user definable) distance of the Sun, as long as it is not the condition
above.
