Solar Observation with EclipSmart Filter
The included EclipSmart Solar Filter allows the telescope to be used for dedicated solar observation when the filter is correctly fitted. It can support educational observation of the Sun and solar activity while adding daytime astronomy to a university's observational program.
Important Solar Safety
Never observe the Sun through a telescope without a properly installed solar filter designed for the telescope. Always inspect the filter before use and ensure it is securely attached. Never use the telescope to project the Sun onto a surface, as concentrated sunlight can cause serious damage to eyes and equipment.
