WARNING TO NEWCOMERS TO ASTRONOMY!!!! Never use one of these SOLAR FILTERS!

They are prone to explode from Magnified heat from the Sun and cause permanent blindness!!!!

NEVER, NEVER USE ONE!!!!!! They are Illegal in Australia and many other countries.

Proper Solar filters fit onto the front of a telescope, NOT the eyepiece.
