The Tele Vue Sol-Searcher offers a safe yet simple method for easily locating the Sun. It is unquestionably safe: rather than looking through the Sol-Searcher, you look at it. The aperture acts as a "pinhole," projecting an image of the Sun on to the 1/4" translucent screen. This screen can be viewed from either side. Simply move your scope until the Sun's image is centered on the screen and the Sun will be in the eyepiece's field of view. The Sol-Searcher attaches to the mount ring slot of every Tele Vue telescope (or to the rear cell slot in the Tele Vue Ranger). For use with telescopes other than Tele Vue, mount the Sol-Searcher using #10-32 screws, or if necessary, attach with Velcro (not supplied).
