Celestron SS80 User Manual

A Word of Caution!
Your Celestron spotting scope is designed to give you hours of fun
and rewarding observations. There are, however, a few things to
consider before using your spotting scope that will ensure your safety
and protect your equipment.
• Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or with your
spotting scope. Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result.
• Never use your spotting scope to project an image of the Sun onto
any surface. Internal heat build-up can damage your spotting scope
and/or any accessories attached to it.
• Never use an eyepiece solar filter or a Herschel wedge. Internal heat
build-up inside your spotting scope can cause these devices to crack
or break, allowing unPiltered sunlight to pass through to the eye.
• Never leave your spotting scope unsupervised, either when children
are present or adults who may not be familiar with the correct
operating procedures of your spotting scope.
• Never point your spotting scope at the Sun unless you have the
proper solar filter. When using your spotting scope with the proper
solar filter, ALWAYS cover the finderscope. Although small in
aperture, this instrument has enough light gathering power to cause
permanent and irreversible eye damage. In addition, the image
projected by the finder is hot enough to burn skin and clothing.
