Please note, for your safety and that of your equipment, never look directly at the sun or point your camera at the sun without the correct solar filter.

• You should not use a photographic filter for visual observing of the sun.
• · Be sure to examine the filter before each use to assure there are no holes or tears.
• · Cover your finder scope. Do not use this if you have no filter on the finder scope. Covering it ensures that no one looks through it accidentally.
• · Wait for at least 15 minutes after affixing you filter to ensure that the filter and your equipment equalize temperature.
• · If using an open tube telescope, cover the open section to ensure no light enters the sides which can cause damage to your instrument and the filter.
