Only a G1 so no threat at all but if your stuff starts going bonkers....  |
The sun is really cool and something that doesn't get as much attention as the night sky. When the solar eclipse occurred for a lot of the US several years ago, I got a set of solar binoculars and a tripod mount. I used them to look at sunspots many times in our old apt. It was really cool to see the motion of the spots across the face of the sun and the changes in the spots.
When I got my scope several years ago, I also bought a solar filter for it. I need to get that out and use it more. I suspect looking at sunspots via a scope is much more impressive than a really cheap set of 10x50s.
