Hi Peter,
Pull BF out about an inch, say thumb distance to first knuckle.
Focus as much as possible on rim of sun - focus assistance on SC is good.
Release pressure in tuner by unscrewing all the way, then carefully replace and screw slowly on until light levels slightly dim and detail starts to show on the disc/rim. Distance of travel varies with each instrument, so you'll have to play it by sight....
Happy seeing!

Just call me Geoff....
I do what I do because I can, and because I want to.

When you've achieved focus and got the tuning right it becomes a doddle.
