This product allows you to perform safe observation of the sun. Here’s how:
- Partial solar eclipse: The moon has not yet completely covered the sun. During this time, you must keep the Filter or protective cover fitted!
- Total solar eclipse:* Once the last of the sunlight has disappeared from the edge of the Moon (“diamond ring”), the filter may be removed. The total phase is brief: just a few minutes. Enjoy it, but remain vigilant: when the “diamond ring” reappears behind the Moon, put the filter back on the telescope or binoculars!
- The same applies to solar observation glasses (special protective glasses for solar observation): during the partial phase, only look at the Sun through these glasses; during the total phase, remove the solar observation glasses.
* Many solar eclipses are only partial. In that case, the protection naturally remains on your telescope or your nose the whole time.
