WARNING

Never use the telescope to look at
the Sun! Looking at or near the Sun
will cause instant and irreversible
damage to your eye. Eye damage is
often painless, so there is no warning
to the observer that damage has
occurred until it is too late. Do not
point the telescope or its viewfinder at
or near the Sun. Do not look through
the telescope or its viewfinder as it is
moving. Children should always have
adult supervision while observing.
