is there any piece included in this kit to look at the sun?

The answer to that question would be no.this kit only contains a variety of lenses and color filters for the telescope. To be able to look at the sun you will need a solar filter to attach to the telescope. Hope my answer was helpful. Good luck in your search!

I do not know yet but I have not read anything that says you can look at the sun so I will not try and I will assume there is not.

No for the sun you need a solar filter only.. This include the moon, and colors plus some oculars, but nothing for the sun, is a special filter..

No. With it also being a usable mirror, the image is not bright enough to over power the sun.

Dobsons have the viewfinder up top. Depending on how it's angled, you may want a chair to sit in.

The eyepiece and stand are included. You will have wonderful views of the sky immediately.

No. , there's a small pin hole threw the lens cover that let's u kinda sight it in but very damaging to scope if fully exposed to direct sun light !!

I don't know for sure if there are. I haven't seen any. I used to get a soft chamois eye cover for my old Arriflex 16mm eyepiece but they would be too small to cover or replace this eyepiece.

Thank you very much indeed. The zoom binocular by Pentax has one, good for looking at the stars.

First of all, do not attempt to view the sun with any telescope or binoculars unless you're certain of what you're doing, as doing it wrong can result in permanent eye damage! Nor should small children try to view the sun, even with the proper filter. The correct kind of filter goes over the end of the telescope, not on the eyepiece. It has to be the correct size. I don't see one made for this telescope on Orion's website. I'd suggest calling them.

no optical viewfinder. I did not work in the bright sunlight for me. You might try another unit for outside use. even one that has a greater range. Or possibly some kind of reflective plate so you can see the dot. The last Outside measurement I did was at twilight.

I think you can order accessories for this telescope. A nebula filter would be helpful when viewing Orion Nebula and others. I don't do much moon viewing, so don't know much about a filter for that. I bought an electric hookup for my telescope. It has a 25' reach to your car's cigarette lighter input. I also bought a camera adapter to hook my camera into an eyepice holder. As far as repair items, please consult with the Meade people.

Yes....just keep it pointed toward the sun. There should be a video on amazon.

Yes, there is only one very small solar panel included. The picture on the box shows 6 different projects that you can build with the kit.

The scope does not come with a sun shade, however it does come with lens caps. I don't know if sun shade is available for this scope maybe a person could check on the nikon website.

No. Only the unit. Just a suggestion use a piece of paper with the lenses to diffuse the light more

I don't know, the solar panel was missing. I guess it wasn't included in the kit.

It has been awhile since I took it out of the box. Do not remember the eyepiece and eyecup, but everything else you listed came with it. Hope that helps.

The answer is NO! You can buy solar filters for the objective lenses, but not for the eyepieces.
