With the help of Selden and Grant here is a workaround to get a Sun with a correct rotation axis. Just add this fake planet in your favorite scc:
"Sun" "Sol"
{
#Texture "sun.jpg"
Texture "gstar.jpg"
Emissive true
Radius 696000 #celestia Sol : 695705.371
EllipticalOrbit {
Period 1e10
SemiMajorAxis 1e-10
Eccentricity 0.00
Inclination 0.00
}
# RotationPeriod : the actual rotation rate varies with latitude L as: ( 14.37 - 2.33 sin2 L - 1.56 sin4 L ) deg/day
RotationPeriod 609.6 # 601.25h @0 deg or 609.6h @16 deg lat
Obliquity 7.25
EquatorAscendingNode 75.62
}
