What Turtle65 said is accurate. So long as you are trying to sight-in on the sun for a prolonged period, you should be fine. I would not suggest looking at the sun for a short period, either. Normal sighting, shooting, and even hunting is just fine.
With that said, I would not suggest leaving your thermal out in the direct sunlight to sit and roast, or any other similar bit of electronics. For example, if this was the 1960s and you were carrying your thermal scoped rifle in the back untinted with no UV protection truck window for days or weeks at a time, I would suggest you cover the scope and protect it from UV and direct sunlight exposure harm.
