Orion StarBlast 4.5 Instruction Manual page 9

WARNING: Never look directly at the Sun through this telescope or its finder scope — even for an instant — or permanent eye
damage could result. Do not point the telescope at the Sun, as parts will melt! Children should use this telescope only with adult
supervision.
One more time, and with FEELING!
NEVER POINT THIS TELESCOPE AT THE SUN!
"The best thing that we're put here for's to see;
The strongest thing that's given us to see with's
a telescope. Someone in every town
seems to me owes it to the town to keep one.
In Littleton it may as well be me."
Brad McLaughlin, quoted by
in "The Star Splitter"
