INTRODUCTION
• 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 your 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, either when children are present or adults unfamiliar with the correct operating
procedures of your telescope are present
