Cautions & Warnings:

There are no user serviceable parts inside the SolaREDi 66. Do not

disassemble the unit.

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 unfiltered 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 filter is advised in

assembly, use and dismantling at all times.

•

We recommend leaving the front cover on the telescope until the

diagonal and eyepiece are installed, and the telescope is pointed

at the Sun.

•

While observing, owners must take care and caution that all

parts of the filter and telescope assembly are properly affixed

and that no pieces have been opened, tampered with or

removed.

•

Responsible owners will be prudent to inform guest or novice

observers of the special nature of the telescope configuration so

not to imply that telescopic observing of the sun is safe without

proper filtration.

A few very important points that owners and operators must

understand:

•

DayStar filters are temperature sensitive.

temperature will change the wavelength (CWL) that the filter will

transmit. Users need to be aware of temperature tuning issues.

•

Because of the need for temperature regulation, a power

supply is required.

•

The F/14 focal ratio of this telescope is longer than common

nighttime telescopes, and as such, consideration must be

given to using longer focal length eyepieces and larger format

image sensors for satisfactory viewing of the Sun. Eyepieces

shorter than approximately 12mm will outresolve the diffraction

limit and not add additional detail.

•

Do not twist the red filter housing relative to the focuser or the

heater wire connections may pull out.
