Safe Solar Viewing
Never look at the Sun through a telescope without a properly mounted, certified solar filter — unfiltered solar light will cause instant, permanent eye damage. Inspect the film for pinholes, scratches, or separations before each use; discard immediately if damaged. Mount the filter securely so it cannot blow off in wind or vibrate loose.
