Travel Scope 50

 SOLAR WARNING

Even though your EclipSmart telescope is equipped with ISO certifi ed solar fi lters that allow safe direct observation of the 
Sun, there are still some important rules you should follow when solar observing:
•   Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or with a telescope unless you have the proper solar fi lter. 

Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result.

•   Never use a 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 fi lter or a Herschel wedge. Internal heat build-up inside the telescope can cause these 

devices to crack or break, allowing unfi ltered sunlight to pass through to the eye.

•    Do not leave the telescope unsupervised, especially when children or adults unfamiliar with the correct operating 

procedures of your telescope are present.

We recommend saving your telescope box so it can be used to store the telescope when it is not in use. Unpack the 
box carefully as some parts are small. Use the parts list below to verify that all parts and accessories are present.
