This will make the camera point at the center of the universe.
Orbit the camera until the sun is directly centered in your view. The grid lines on the ground will help with this.
If the sky is very bright, it may be difficult to see the grid lines. In that case, once you're near the sun, change the point light intensity. I used 50% here.
Increase the camera focal length to 40mm so you can be more accurate.
Continue refining the orbit, carefully position the sun centered on the center grid line intersection.
Now look on the camera parameters. Write down the xOrbit and yOrbit.
Mine is xOrbit=42, yOrbit=216.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
