Mount requirements

The optical tube needs a suitably stable mount. Its compact design produces less leverage than a similarly long refractor, but good stability remains important at high magnification.

Safety information

Before every solar observation, carefully inspect the filter and its attachment. Never look at the Sun through the telescope without a suitable front-mounted solar filter.

Practical note

For solar observing, use only the supplied purpose-designed front solar filter in undamaged condition and according to the manufacturer's instructions.
