• 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 who may not be familiar with the correct operating
procedures of your telescope.
Take time to read through this manual before embarking
on your journey through the Universe. It may take a few
observing sessions to become familiar with your telescope,
so you should keep this manual handy until you have fully
mastered your telescope's operation.
Your telescope is designed to give you years of fun and
rewarding observations. However, there are a few things to
consider before using your telescope that will ensure your
safety and protect your equipment.
