Meade LX20 Instruction Manual page 3

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 should always
have adult supervision while observing.
