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 dam-
age has occurred until it is too late. Do not
point the telescope or its finder at or near the
Sun. Do not look through the telescope or its
finder as it is moving. Children should always
have adult supervision while observing.
WARNING!
Never leave the primary mirror uncovered
during the daytime unless using the
telescope to view terrestrial objects.
