SOLAR WARNING
Even though your EclipSmart solar filter is equipped with ISO
certified material that allow safe direct observation of the
Sun, there are still some important rules you should follow
when solar observing:
• Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or with a telescope
unless you have the proper solar filter. Permanent and irreversible
eye damage may result.
• Never use a telescope to project an image of the Sun onto any
surface. Internal heat build-up can damage the telescope and any
accessories attached to it.
• Never use an eyepiece solar filter or a Herschel wedge. Internal heat
build-up inside the telescope can cause these devices to crack or
break, allowing unfiltered sunlight to pass through to the eye.
• Do not leave the telescope unsupervised, especially when children
or adults unfamiliar with the correct operating procedures of your
telescope are present.
HANDLING THE FILTER
When handling the filter, hold it by the outer edges of the plastic filter
cell. Do not touch or make contact with the filter material. Do not use
any cleaning chemicals or brushes to clean the material. If you need to
remove dust from the filter, use compressed air to blow it clean. Small
smudges or fingerprints will not affect the filter's performance. When
you are not using the filter, store it in its original box.
INSTALLING THE FILTER
Before installing your filter, remove the protective cap (if your filter
has one) and inspect its surface carefully under a bright light source.
If you see holes or damage to the surface of the filter, do not use it.
When you are ready to install the filter, remove your telescope's lens
cap and replace it with the solar filter. Each filter is based on the
design of your telescope's lens cap and should fit snugly.
The filter slides inside of the front cell of your telescope. Spin the
entire cap so that the filter fits between your secondary mirror's
spider vanes, free from obstruction. To attach the safety straps, peel
the backing off two of the 1" x 1" self-adhesive Velcro tabs and stick
them on opposite sides of the top surface of the filter (Figure 1).
With the filter installed, stick the remaining two 1" x 1" tabs on the
side of the telescope's front cell immediately adjacent to the tabs
you placed on the top surface of the filter (Figure 2). Use the two 4"
Velcro strips to connect each pair of tabs and secure the filter to the
telescope (Figure 3).
REMOVE THE FINDERSCOPE
When observing the Sun, you should completely remove the optical
finderscope from the telescope. Allowing the Sun to shine through
an optical finderscope will result in a focused beam of sunlight that
can cause burns or permanent damage to the finderscope. Never
rely on the lens caps to stay secured to the finderscope. If you're
concerned you won't be able to point the telescope at the Sun without
a finderscope, don't worry. Locating the Sun without a finderscope is
very simple, as we'll explain in the next section.
Figure 2
LOCATING THE SUN IN THE TELESCOPE
Without directly looking at the Sun, turn the scope so the filter is
pointed in the Sun's general direction. Next, turn around and look at
the telescope's shadow on the ground. Move the scope to adjust its
position until the telescope tube's shadow appears perfectly round.
If you are slightly off, the shadow will appear oval or elongated. When
you have pointed the telescope correctly, the Sun should be within the
field of view of your lowest power eyepiece. If it is not, look through
the eyepiece and slowly move the scope in a circular pattern. You
should find it in no time.
The Sun will appear as an orange disk in the eyepiece. Use your
telescope's focusing knobs as you normally would until the edge of
the solar disk appears sharp.

AVERTISSEMENT SUR LE SOLEIL
Même si votre filtre solaire EclipSmart est doté d'un matériau
certifié ISO qui permet une observation directe du soleil en
toute sécurité, il y a toujours quelques règles importantes à
respecter lorsque vous observez le Soleil:
• Ne regardez jamais directement le Soleil à l'œil nu ou dans un
télescope sans un fitre solaire adéquat. Cela peut causer des lésions
oculaires permanentes et irréversibles.
• N'utilisez jamais le télescope pour projeter l'image du Soleil sur
n'importe quelle surface. Une concentration de chaleur dangereuse
peut être générée à l'intérieur et endommager le télescope et les
accessoires attachés.
• N'utilisez jamais un filtre solaire d'oculaire ou une cale de Herschel.
De la chaleur peut se concentrer dans le télescope, risquant
d'entraîner des failles ou des cassures sur les autres appareils,
$5000
permettant à la lumière non filtrée du Soleil d'atteindre les yeux.
• Ne laissez jamais le télescope sans supervision en présence
d'enfants ou d'adultes qui ne sont pas familiarisés avec les
procédures d'utilisation correctes.
MANIPULATION DU FILTRE
Lorsque vous manipulez le filtre, tenez-le par les bords extérieurs de
la cellule filtrante en plastique. Ne touchez pas au matériau du filtre.
N'utilisez pas de produits chimiques de nettoyage ou de brosses pour
nettoyer le matériau. Si vous devez enlever la poussière du filtre,
utilisez de l'air comprimé pour le nettoyer. Les petites taches ou traces
