Observing the Sun with complex optical systems since 1966, and still haven't burned, melted or damaged anything.
Not blind yet, either!
Light pollution? I only observe the Sun, magnitude -26.74. Pollute that!

Got me there, I don't do drawings, just visually observe. The instrument is a Wm. Gaertner & Co. L4020 from 1905.
