SOLAR WARNING
• 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.
• 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.

procedures to have the telescope up and running in minutes. Use this manual in conjunction with the on-screen instructions
