They say that binocoulars or telescopes will magnify the sunlight, harming your eyes. Is this true? Even with you wearing the eye protection code glasses.

Nah, it’ll be alright.

Looking at the sun with binoculars or a telescope, WITHOUT a shade 14 or higher filter over the lenses on the SUN SIDE of the binoculars or telescope will make them act much like you were burning ants with a magnifying glass.

Those cool solar shades you’re wearing will melt right through, just like that.

Steaming eyeballs anyone?
