WARNING
•
Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or with a telescope (unless you have the proper solar filter). Permanent and irreversible eye
damage may result.
•
Never use your telescope to project an image of the sun onto any surface. Internal heat build-up can damage the telescope and any accessories
attached to it.
•
Never use an eyepiece solar filter or a Herschel wedge. Internal heat build-up inside the telescope can cause these devices to crack or break,
allowing unfiltered sunlight to pass through to the eye.
•
Do not leave the telescope unsupervised, either when children are present or with adults who may not be familiar with the correct operating
procedures of your telescope.
