STEP 2:
Carefully slide the filter fully over the front end of the telescope.
Never force the filter onto the optical tube or damage can occur.
STEP 3:
Tighten the thumb screw located on side the filter until firm. Do not
overtighten the thumb screw.
STEP 4:
The solar filter is now installed and ready to use on the Sun. Always
use caution when viewing at or near the Sun.
STEP 5:
When removing the solar filter, point the telescope away from the
Sun first, then remove the filter. Removing the filter while the telescope is still
pointed at the Sun is very dangerous and can cause serious damage to the
telescope or anyone that may unknowingly attempt to look through the now
unfiltered telescope.
