Reduce the bandpass of your Lunt 80 mm modular telescope system from ~0.65 angstroms to ~0.5 angstroms with the addition of a Lunt Double Stack Filter, also available at High Point Scientific!

This Starter Package from Lunt Solar Systems unlocks the full viewing potential of their popular 80 mm ED refractor solar telescope. Along with the Lunt LS80MT 80 mm modular telescope, this package includes the accessories needed for h-alpha solar, nighttime, and terrestrial observing!

The included H-alpha and B1200 blocking filters provide a safe and exciting view of the sun's disk and surface. True doppler tuning allows for precise tuning. Removing and replacing the H-alpha module with the included backing plate and focuser transforms this 80 mm, FPL53 doublet lens refractor into a nighttime and terrestrial telescope.

Lunt Solar Systems LS80MT Modular Solar Telescope Specifications:

  • Optical Aperture: 80 mm
  • Etalon: Internal <0.65 Angstrom (single-stacked)
  • Tuning: Internal Pressure Tune (Doppler True Tuning)
  • ED Doublet Refractor (with FPL53 Glass)
  • Focal Length: 560
  • F Ratio: f/7

With a 560 focal length combined with the included B1200 blocking filter, the LS80MT is in an optimal configuration for solar imaging, in addition to more traditional astrophotography.

Included in the Starter Package

  • Modular Telescope with B1200 Blocking Filter - Featuring a 5.6 mm image size, f/7 ED doublet refractor with FPL53 glass optics, true doppler tuning, and a modular and portable design.
  • 1.25" Diagonal and Adapter - Allows the LS80MT to accept standard 1.25" eyepieces.
  • Red Dot Handle and Mounting Ring Assembly - An integrated red dot finder and mounting ring assembly that doubles as a handle for additional portability.
  • 8" Vixen-Style Dovetail - For connecting to the mount of your choice.
  • Backing Plate & Focuser - When the H-alpha and blocking filters are removed, the backing plate and focuser allows for non-solar nighttime and terrestrial observing with the addition of a diagonal and eyepiece.
  • Lunt 19mm Eyepiece - Features the same 0.1% anti-reflective coatings that Lunt uses on its etalons. For use with solar, terrestrial, and nighttime observing (always have the H-alpha and blocking filters attached to safely look at the sun!).

In addition, each Lunt Solar Telescope comes with a branded drawstring soft bag and aluminum-finished hard carry case with foam inserts!
