Never use your telescope to look directly at the sun.
Permanent eye damage will result. Use a proper solar
filter for viewing the sun. When observing the sun,
place a dust cap over your finderscope to protect it
from exposure. Never use an eyepiece-type solar filter
and never use your telescope to project sunlight onto
another surface, the internal heat build-up will damage
the telescope optical elements.
