SOLAR TELESCOPE

Equipped with a special solar telescope groups and even school classes watch eclipses and the transit of Venus. They can also look for sun spots. One must NEVER stare at the Sun without sufficient protection and absolutely never through a telescope. Then serious and permanent eye damages are almost guaranteed. Equipped with eclipse shades or solar telescopes the events become accessible, beautiful and safe to watch.

The Venuscope is a solar telescope that is easy to assemble.
