Product description

The LS80MT is a telescope for observing the Sun in H-alpha light with a clear aperture of 80mm and 560mm focal length. As it has no central obstruction such that the image is especially clear. The lens can reach its full resolution potential!

In H-alpha light, solar prominences are visible at the edge of the Sun, as well as filaments and flares on its surface. Observing the Sun in H-alpha is always impressive and varied! The integrated etalon filter achieves a half width of less than 0.7 Angstrom.

Focusing takes place using a solid 2-inch drawtube with 1:10 reduction.

The real star of the show when it comes to Lunt’s Allround telescope is its modular construction: You can simply detach the red-painted H-alpha etalon and replace it with a separately available conversion kit. Then you will have a high-quality ED apochromat with special FPL-53 glass for nocturnal observation and astrophotography. After converting it, you can also observe the Sun in white light by using a Herschel wedge. It is also possible to use a CaK module for observing the Sun in this spectral line - a truly universal telescope!

PT pressure tuner: Fine-tuning on the Etalon filter is provided via an air pressure system. A small change to air pressure within a pressure chamber inside the telescope changes the refractive index of the air, resulting in precise yet effortless adjustment to the H-alpha spectral line. The pressure tuner guarantees a uniform image with no central obstructions and a long-lasting wear-resistant etalon.

The B1200 blocking filter is well-suited to visual solar observation. Solar photography is also possible with cameras which have a small sensor chip, namely typical planetary cameras. For cameras with medium-sized or large sensors, a telescope with a larger blocking filter should be used so that the sensor will be well illuminated.

It not only matters which telescope you buy but also where you buy it. Our additional services:

  • We are a leading telescope dealer and know the devices we sell. Our customer service team will gladly help you after your purchase if you have problems with assembly or operation.
  • We provide a copy of the 80-page Telescope ABC beginners handbook with every telescope.
