WARNING:
Never look at the sun with your telescope
(or even with just your eyes) without a professionally
made solar filter. Permanent eye damage or blindness
could result. Young children should use this telescope
only with adult supervision.
Avoid using the type of solar filter that screws into an
eyepiece. They are susceptible to cracking under the
intense heat that builds up near the focus point, and
could cause severe retinal damage. Use only the type of
solar filter that covers the front of the telescope. Be sure
also to cover the front of the finder scope with aluminum
foil or another opaque material to prevent physical dam-
age to the internal components of the scope itself as well
as to your eyes.
