ETX-125PE/EC and Solar Observing

Hi,

Just a query - is the Autostar controller on the ETX-125 (PE or EC) set up for doing solar observation? I'm looking to buy an ETX-125 and piggyback a Coronado PST, whilst using the ETX with a full aperture white light filter. Ideally, I'd also like some sort of CCD imaging ability, either through LPI or DSI through either scope.

Such a setup would be ideal for both eclipse chasing, and general solar observation, but a first glance at the ETX manual does not suggest the Sun is listed on the controller software.

thanks,

Malcolm
