Congratulations and thank you on your purchase of a LUNT Solar Systems solar telescope!
LUNT Solar Systems are a new generation of solar viewing instruments utilizing the most current technologies to
provide the highest quality contrast and resolution in their class. If you are new to solar observing you may want to
access our web page or LUNT Solar on Yahoo Groups to get information from more experienced users as to the
advancements, tips and improved performance for each type of instrument. Before you begin setting up your telescope
and observing the Sun for the first time, we ask that you please review the Safety Statements noted below.
SAFETY STATEMENTS
 There are inherent dangers when looking at the Sun thru any instrument. LUNT Solar Systems has taken your
safety very seriously in the design of our systems. With safety being the highest priority we ask that you read
and understand the operation of your telescope or filter system prior to use. NEVER attempt to disassemble
the system. Do NOT use your system if it is in someway compromised due to mishandling or damage. Please
contact the factory with ANY questions or concerns regarding the safe use of your instrument.
 Never look at the Sun with your naked eye or with a telescope that is not specifically designed to do so.
Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result.
 Check that all filters are installed correctly and are free of any surface contamination that may compromise
performance and/or potentially damage the surface of the optic when exposed to the Sun. (i.e. fingerprints,
smudges, etc.). Perform a routine safety check before each viewing session.
 Never leave the solar telescope unsupervised while pointed at the Sun. People who are not familiar with the
correct operating procedures of the system may inadvertently replace the diagonal or remove the filter itself,
not being aware of the integrated safety features of each system component.
 LUNT Solar filter/telescopes are NOT interchangeable with competitor products.
 Always be aware that you are viewing in direct sunlight. Take necessary precautions to protect yourself from
sunburn and heat exposure.
