Warning: Never look at the sun with your telescope (or even with just your eyes) without a professionally made solar filter. Permanent eye damage or blindness could result. Young children should use this telescope

only with adult supervision­.

Avoid using the type of solar filter that screws into an eyepiece. They are susceptible to cracking under the intense heat that builds up near the focus point, and could cause severe retinal damage. Use only the type of solar filter that covers the front of the telescope. Also, be sure to leave the cover caps on the finder scope when solar observing. Better yet, remove the finder scope alto- gether when viewing the sun.

Unpacking

Carefully unpack the StarBlast 6 from its shipping box. We recommend keeping the original shipping boxes. In the event that the telescope needs to be shipped to another location, or returned to Orion for warranty repair, having the proper shipping containers will help ensure that your telescope will survive the journey intact.

Make sure all the parts in the Parts List below are present. Be sure to check boxes carefully, as some parts are small. If anything appears to be missing or broken, immediately call Orion Customer Support (800-676-1343) for assistance.
