WARNING!
Never use the LX200 telescope to look at the Sun! Looking at or near the Sun will cause instant
and irreversible damage to your eye. Eye damage is often painless, so there is no warning to the
observer that damage has occurred until it is too late. Do not point the telescope or its viewfinder
at or near the Sun. Do not look through the telescope or its viewfinder as it is moving. Children
