Sunspotter
This wooden, folded-path, Keplerian telescope provides a much safer and convenient way to view the brilliant light of the sun than Cross-Curricular more common methods. By using a series of mirrors, the device projects a bright 3.25-inch solar image onto a 5-inch white viewing screen through a powerful 62mm diameter objective lens. In its perfectly curved cradle, the Sunspotter is easily aligned to the sun in seconds, without the complication of telescopes, solar filters, and tripods.
