Safety Information
There are inherent dangers when looking at the Sun through any instrument. Lunt Solar Systems has taken your safety very
seriously in the design of our systems. With safety being the highest priority, we ask that you read and understand the
operation of your telescope or filter system prior to use. NEVER attempt to disassemble the system. Do NOT use your
system if it is in some way compromised due to mishandling or damage. Please contact the factory with ANY questions or
concerns regarding the safe use of your instrument.
Always check any telescope before use. Do not use any telescope or filter that appears to be damaged. Verify
that all glass and filters are in place. Contact Lunt Solar with any questions before use.
The Blocking Filter diagonal must ALWAYS be used with the Lunt Telescope or Filter. Lunt Filters and Blocking
Filters are NOT interchangeable with products from other manufactures.
Never look at the Sun with your naked eye or with a telescope that is not specifically designed to do so.
Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result.
Check that all filters are installed correctly and are free of any surface contamination that may compromise
performance and/or potentially damage the surface of the optic when exposed to the Sun. i.e.:
fingerprints. Perform a routine safety check before each viewing session.
Never leave the solar telescope unsupervised while pointed at the Sun. People who are not familiar with the
correct operating procedures of the system may inadvertently replace the diagonal or remove the filter itself
not being aware of the integrated safety features of each.
The Lunt Solar filter/telescopes are NOT interchangeable with products from other manufactures
.
Always be aware that you are viewing in direct sunlight. Take necessary precautions to protect yourself from
sunburn and heat exposure.
