Tele Vue Sol-Searcher

WARNING: NEVER try to look at the sun or point the telescope toward or near the sun without professional solar observing equipment rigidly secured in front of the objective lens. When observing the sun with the proper filters, use only the Tele Vue “Sol-Searcher” (SSF-1006) for finding the Sun. Remove any other finding devices such as Starbeam from the telescope. Instant and permanent eye damage may result from viewing the sun directly, even during a solar eclipse, or when viewing through thin clouds, or when the sun is near the horizon.

The TeleVue Sol-Searcher fits the single ring mount (RS4-8004) of the NP101is, which has two machined grooves that accept the Sol-Searcher, the Starbeam and the Piggy-Cam.

Yes. Mount the Sol-Searcher on the QRD-1006 dovetail and use it with the QRB-1002 Quick Release Bracket, which fits Tele Vue ring mounts.

When observing the Sun with the proper filters, use only the Sol-Searcher (SSF-1006) for finding the Sun and to remove any other finding devices such as Starbeam from the telescope.
