Let me correct myself. You say that the eyepiece F has treads on both sides. One side must be for the shade E. How dense is the shade? Can you see any normal objects through it? If you can, this is not a Sun shade, as I supposed in my first answer. Normally, the Kepler scope is used for the Sun and Galileo of twilight observations. If the shade is for the Galileo scope, it must be very light.
