Hi Snobelle
Welcome to IIS and welcome to astronomy - a lifetime of exploration, wows and relaxation.
You probably know this already, but NEVER look at the Sun with your telescope unless you have an approved, full aperture Solar Filter fitted to the objective of your telescope. This specialized astronomy filter rejects all the harmful rays BEFORE the sunlight is gathered by the objective.
Remember the days of using a magnifying glass to set a piece of paper on fire – well without a full aperture solar filter that paper is your eye. Apologies for the somewhat gloomy message, but your eyesight is precious!
Cheers
Dennis
