Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result.
.:. When observing the Sun with your telescope (while using a proper solar filter), make sure the finderscope
has a dust cap over the objective end or simply remove the finderscope.
.:. Never use your telescope to project an image of the Sun onto any surface. Internal heat buildup can damage
the telescope and any accessories attached.
.:. Never use an eyepiece solar filter or a Herschel wedge. Internal heat buildup inside the telescope can cause
these devices to crack or break, allowing unfiltered sunlight to pass through the telescope to the eye.
.:. Never leave the telescope unsupervised. Make sure an adult who is familiar with the correct operating
procedures is with your telescope at all times, especially when children are present.
