There are no user serviceable parts inside the telescope. Do not
diassemble the unit. Certain components are under pressure and
disassembly can cause permanent damage. All elements are required
for proper operation and removal of any internal component will cause a
malfunction that could result in unltered light which can cause blindness
or damage to equipment.
Solar Observing with a telescope is sensitive to certain risks.
• Caution and care of the telescope and lter is advised in
assembly, use and dismantling at all times.
• Telescope owners must use caution when afxing the lter to the
telescope never to point any telescope at the sun without the
solar lter safely installed rst.
• While observing, owners must take care and caution that all
parts of the lter and telescope assembly are properly aixed
and that no pieces have been opened, tampered with or
removed.
• Owners must also use caution when the telescope is being
assembled and dismantled to assure the telescope is never
pointing at the sun without the solar filter unit properly
installed.
• Responsible owners will be prudent to inform guest or novice
observers of the special nature of the telescope conguration so
not to imply that telescopic observing of the sun is safe without
proper ltration.
A few very important points that owners and operators must
understand:
• DayStar lters are rear-mounted and can be applied to a
choice of telescopes if applied properly. If application is
incorrect, the lter will not perform as specified.
• DayStar Filters are interference lters. If light reaches a
DayStar Filter at an angle, it will cause wavelength
wingshift.
• Changing the DayStar lters are temperature sensitive.
temperature will change the wavelength (CWL) that the filter will
transmit. Users need to be aware of temperature tuning issues.
