How do I use a solar filter on a telescope?

I would suggest setting up the tripod so that the mount is pointing away from the Sun when you put the Solar filter on. The mount will then automatically rotate to find the Sun when it turns on. Likewise, you have to remember to point the telescope away from the Sun before you remove the Solar filter.
