I've heard that there is an undocumented Solar GOTO in the latest

It doesn't exist. It seemed to for a while but it was just an
accident of the fact that the Sun was near RA=0, Dec=0 at that time.
If you want to GOTO the Sun, do a regular alignment, look up the
Sun's RA and Dec and GOTO that way. (But that's hardly worth the
effort; the Sun is easy to find manually.)
