can someone give me some info about trackers?

Hi all,

Honestly, I know very little about this filed of astronomy, and that's
why I really need your help. My research involves an new instrument
that is supposed to point the center of the sun disk to measure solar
beam at a certain spectrum. Since our instrument has a 1-degree field
of view only, I need a tracker to accurately track the sun at least
within 0.1 degree. I heard that amateur astronomers use very accurate
trackers to track stars. Could anyone give me some information about
it? Any guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
