I don't know if you'd be able to target the sun minion this way, put you can set it to different heights using /poke, it stays where you spawn it, and (most important) it disappears when you turn off the HUD. It's one of the few things given to use specifically for screenshots. Oh, and you can use it for a light source, but it drops off pretty quickly.

You can also change the axis of the camera using ctrl+up/down on the arrow keys. It's not much, but it helps.
