Hello Frank Maxwell.

"Need help taking backsight of the sun."
Happy to help. I'm sure you will get lots of advice from the group (me included), but could I ask you please to tell us how things stand? Have you tried any back sights? Are you in a latitude right now where back sights are feasible at this time of year? Southern hemisphere? Do you also have questions about working up a back sight? Also, what brings you to this topic? Most navigators never use back sights at all. Do you have a location where they would be especially useful? Please tell us more about where you are in this process and how you got here, and we can go from there. :)
