Product information "LUNT LS60FHa H-alpha double-stack solar filter"
60mm H-alpha double-stack solar filter, for all LS60FHa filter-systems and LS60THa/LS60MT telescopes.
This double-stack Etalon is compatible to all Lunt Solar Systems LS60FHa filter-systems and LS60THa / LS60MT telescopes. Adding this additional double-stack Etalon system will reduce the bandwidth to ~<0.55 Angstrom (dependent upon used telescope). So you will have much more contrast and more details on the sun will be visible.
Without blocking filter! Only for use as double-stack filter, or together with a additional available blocking filter. If the filter is used only single stacked together with a optional blocking filter, then the bandwidth is <0.75 Angstrom.
Modular designed multipurpose telescope, both for observing the sun
in the H-alpha wavelength, as well as for night sky observations. Easy
conversion between the different applications with a few simple steps.
Excellent image quality due to 2-lens ED optics with 70mm aperture for
night sky observation, and 60mm usable aperture for H-alpha solar
observation.With innovative air pressure tuning system, high-quality 2 inch (50.8mm) Rack&Pinion (R&P) focuser, and B600 blocking filter.Solar observing in H-alpha:The LS60MT/B600 is a complete telescope for observing the sun in H-alpha light, with 60mm free aperture (no central obstruction) and 420mm focal length.
The H-alpha wavelength is the most impressive way to observe the sun,
showing protuberances at the sun's edge, filaments and flares on the
surface, and much more. An internal Etalon filter achieves a bandwidth of <0.7 Angstrom with the innovative air pressure tuning system Pressure-Tuner.
Tuning is done by slightly changing the air pressure in a pressure
chamber inside the telescope. This changes the refractive index of the
air, making it easy to tune to the H-alpha line. The pressure tuner
guarantees a homogeneous image, without central obstruction, and a
permanently protected Etalon without erosion. A set of collimating
lenses installed in the telescope ensures best performance.Fine adjustment is achieved with a solid 2 inch Rack&Pinion focuser with 10:1 reduction.Blocking-filter is the B600.
The B600 is good for visual solar observing. Also solar imaging is
possible by cameras with small CCD chip. We recommend a LS60MT with
B1200 blocking-filter by using cameras with middle or large sized CCD
chips.The star diagonal in which the blocking filter is installed,
is equipped as standard for 1.25 inch eyepieces and with a T2 camera
connection.Observing the starry night sky:The H-alpha
Etalon system can be removed from the telescope in a few easy steps
thanks to its modular design. The 2-lens ED refractor can then be used
as a normal telescope with 70mm aperture and 420mm focal length for observation and photography of the night sky. The ED Doublet lens will offer an excellent image. It can be used with a standard 2 inch zenith mirror at the R&P focuser.With an additional Amici prism, the telescope can of course also be used during the day for nature and landscape observations.This makes the LS60MT, with its small dimensions and low weight, also an ideal travel telescope for all applications!More applications:With additionally available accessories the LS60MT offers even more possibilities!- Double-StackThe LS60MT telescope can optionally be upgraded with the additionally available double-stack filters LS50FHa or LS60FHa
(part numbers 0550200 and 0550250). These filters will be simply
screwed on the front of the LS60MT, no additional adapters are
necessary. Thereby a bandwidth of <0.5 Angstrom is achieved for
H-alpha solar observation. Therefore much more details on the solar
surface will become visible.- Solar observing in White-LightIf
the H-alpha unit has been removed, of course either a sun filter to be
installed in front of the objective, or a Herschel-wedge at the focuser
can be used to observe the sunspots in White-Light.- Solar observing in Ca-K wavelengthCertainly,
the Ca-K filter modules from Lunt Solar Systems can also be used at the
LS60MT to observe and photograph super-granulation and other effects
visible in this wavelength on the sun.This makes the LS60MT a completely universal usable telescope!FEATURES2-lens ED refractor, FPL-51Aperture: 70mmUsable aperture in H-alpha: 60mm (no central obstruction)Focal length: 420mmBandwidth: internal Etalon with <0.7 AngstromTuning: air pressure tuning system Pressure-TunerBlocking filter: B600 with 1.25 inch and T2 connectionFocuser: Rack&Pinion focuser with 10:1 reductionTube-ring with 1/4-20 tapped base (standard thread for photo-tripods)Weight with H-alpha unit: 3.8kgWeight without H-alpha unit: 2.6kgLength with H-alpha unit and blocking filter: 40cmLength without H-alpha unit: 31cmSCOPE OF DELIVERYLS60MT Multipurpose TelescopePressure-TunerB600 blocking filter in star-diagonal housing2 inch Rack&Pinion focuserTube ring with 1/4-20 connection for mounting on photo-tripodsTransport case (53x33x17cm)Instruction manual

50mm H-alpha double-stack solar filter, for all LS50FHa filter-systems and LS60THa/LS60MT telescopes.This double-stack Etalon is compatible to all Lunt Solar Systems LS50FHa filter-systems and LS60THa / LS60MT telescopes. Adding this additional double-stack Etalon system will reduce the bandwidth to ~<0.55 Angstrom (dependent upon used telescope). So you will have much more contrast and more details on the sun will be visible.Without blocking filter! Only for use as double-stack filter, or together with a additional available blocking filter. If the filter is used only single stacked together with a optional blocking filter, then the bandwidth is <0.75 Angstrom.FEATURESAperture: 50 mmNo central obstructionBandwidth double stacked: <0,55 AngstromTuning: tiltable EtalonHousing diameter: 95 mmLength: 73 mmWeight: 0.7 kgFront thread: M90x1 female threadRear thread: M90x1 male threadSCOPE OF DELIVERYLS50FHa solar filterTransport caseInstruction manual
60mm H-alpha solar filter system with B600 blocking filter, for front mounting at telescopes with 2" focuser, and up to 540mm focal length.The LS60FHa H-alpha Etalon filter system with 60mm aperture (no central obstruction) for use on any refractor and many other telescopes. Because the LS60FHa has an estimated bandwidth of <0.75 Angstrom it is capable to providing high contrast views of both solar surface and edge detail (prominences).The system includes the B600 blocking filter, which is usable for telescopes up to 540mm focal length. Larger blocking filters suitable for longer focal length are also optional available. The blocking filter is installed in a 90° star diagonal for 2" focuser. This diagonal is equipped with a reception for 1.25" eyepieces and a T2 camera connection.Adding an additional available double-stack Etalon system will reduce the bandwidth to ~<0.55 Angstrom.FEATURESAperture: 60 mmNo central obstructionBandwidth: <0.75 AngstromTuning: tiltable EtalonHousing diameter: 95 mmLength: 85 mmWeight: 0.85 kgFront thread: M90x1 female threadRear thread: M90x1 male threadBlocking filter: B600 in diagonal for 2" focuserMaximum focal length of telescope: 540 mmSCOPE OF DELIVERYLS60FHa solar filterB600 Blocking Filter (for 2" focuser) in star-diagonalTransport caseInstruction manual
Solar observation in H-Alpha: prominences, filaments, flares ... the most spectacular way to see the Sun - easy and affordable with the LS40THa.Complete H-alpha solar telescope with 40mm aperture, <0.7 Angstrom bandwidth, B1200 blocking-filter, and Helical focuser.The LS40THa/B1200 is a complete telescope for observing the sun in H-alpha, with 40mm aperture (no central obstruction) and 400mm focal length. The H-alpha wavelength is the most impressive way to observe the sun, showing protuberances at the sun's edge, filaments and flares on the surface, and much more. An Etalon with mechanical tilt-tuning provides <0.7 Angstrom bandwidth.Fine adjustment is achieved with a 1.25 inch Helical focuser. Blocking-filter is the B1200, this is excellent for visual observation of the sun. The star diagonal in which the blocking filter is installed, is equipped as standard for 1.25 inch eyepiece connection.The easy handling makes this telescope ideal for starting H-Alpha solar observation. Due to its compact dimensions it is also a good travel telescope for the experienced solar observers.The LS40THa telescopes are available with choice of B500, B600 or B1200 blocking filters. The larger blocking filters provide less edge obstruction and a larger field of view for visual observation and photography. Please note that these telescopes have only a very small back focus and therefore photography is difficult. We recommend special astro cameras for photography, which have a very short distance to the sensor, such as the BRESSER Full HD camera item number 4959050.FEATURESAperture: 40mm (no central obstruction, 2-lens refractor)Focal length: 400mmBandwidth: <0.7 AngstromTuning: mechanical tilt-tuningBlocking filter: B1200 with 1.25 inch connectionFocuser: Helical focuserDovetail bar at standard GP-level1/4-20 tapped base (standard thread for photo-tripods)Sol-Searcher includedWeight: 1.2kgLength: 41cmSCOPE OF DELIVERYLS40THa Solar TelescopeB1200 blocking filter in star-diagonal housing1.25 inch Helical focuserDovetail bar (GP level)Sol-SearcherInstruction manual
NEW - now including a high-quality aperture solar-filter for safe observation of sunspots, eclipses and planet transits. Great telescope for night and solar observation.
When looking at the technical data, 70mm aperture may not look too impressive. During the observation the impact of the 36 % more light gathering power in respect to a 60mm refractor are easily visible: Details are seen more clearly in the BRESSER NANO AR-70/700 AZ and from a distance of 600 million km the main cloud bands on the planet Jupiter get visible.

Astrophotographers generally use two different focal lengths: Short focal lengths for overview photos and extensive deep-sky objects, and long focal lengths for objects which are further away. Our aspherical mirror optics offer the perfect solution for these scenarios. The VISAC primary mirror (Vixen Sixth-Order Aspheric Cassegrain) is specially designed for astrophotography and provides a fully flat and true-colour image over the entire image frame. Thanks to the three-element field corrector in front of the convex secondary mirror, there is no spherical aberration, coma or field curvature. Although the device is designed for astrophotography, it is also suitable for visual observations.
