WARNING! Looking at the Sun can be very dangerous unless the proper precautions are taken and specialized solar viewing equipment, like Coronado Solar filters and telescopes are used. Never look at the Sun directly with your eyes. When using Coronado filters on a telescope not designed specifically for solar viewing, be sure to block all non-filtered optical components such as viewfinders to prevent the suns light from passing through. An inadvertent glance thought an unfiltered or improperly filtered optical system can cause immediate and permanent damage to the eye. Never allow unattended children to operate or be near a solar telescope system. Coronado SolarMax and SolarMax II hydrogen-alpha telescopes and filters are designed and tested to provide safe viewing of the Sun. These systems consist of two critical parts: The etalon filter that may be mounted at the front of the telescope or internally inside the telescope tube and the blocking filter that is mounted at the back of the telescope. Both of these components must be properly installed to provide safe solar viewing. Most Coronado blocking filters (BF filters) are installed in a special diagonal that mounts at the rear of the telescope and holds the eyepiece. Do not replace this diagonal with any other diagonal. Without the blocking filter inside the dedicated Coronado diagonal, light from the sun is not fully filtered and looking through the system can result eye damage even with a quick glance.

Meade Instruments has night and day covered for the amateur astronomer. Meade is the leader in night time astronomy with the most advanced optical, mechanical and electronic systems for viewing the night sky.
