I can't find the Sun! Sounds funny. However the Sun is tricky to find in a properly filtered telescope and you don't ever want to chance a direct gaze let alone a magnified image of it. Sol-Searcher is the safe and easy way to find the Sun. It is absolutely safe since you don't look through Sol-Searcher you look at it. The aperture acts as a pinhole which projects an image of the Sun onto the 1/4 translucent screen. This screen can be viewed from either side. Simply move your scope until the Sun's image is centered on the screen and the Sun will be in the eyepiece's field of view. The Sol-Searcher attaches to the mount ring slot of every Tele Vue telescope (or to the rear cell slot in the Tele Vue Ranger). For use with telescopes other than Tele Vue mount the Sol-Searcher using #10-32 screws or if necessary attach with Velcro (not supplied).
