H-alpha LUNT LS60MT/B1200FT Multipurpose Solar ED Telescope for solar and nighttime use
Multi-purpose telescope of modular design for both H-alpha wavelength solar observation and night sky observation. Easy conversion between different applications with a few simple steps. Excellent image quality thanks to the 2-lens ED optics with a 70 mm aperture for night sky observation and a usable 60 mm aperture for H-alpha solar observation.
With innovative air pressure adjustment system, 2-inch (50.8 mm) high-end Feather-Touch focuser and B1200 locking filter.
H-alpha solar observing:
The LS60MT/B1200 is a complete telescope for observing the sun in H-alpha light, with 60 mm free aperture (no central obstruction) and 420 mm focal length. The H-alpha wavelength is the most impressive way to observe the sun, showing bumps on the edge of the sun, filaments and flares on the surface and much more. An internal Etalon filter achieves a bandwidth of Fine tuning is achieved with an excellent 2-inch Feather-Touch focuser from Starlight-Instruments with 10:1 reduction.
The blocking filter is the B1200. The B1200 is very good for visual solar observing and also for solar imaging.
The diagonal star on which the blocking filter is installed, is equipped as standard for 1.25-inch eyepieces and with T2 camera connection.
Observing the starry sky:
The H-alpha Etalon system can be removed from the telescope in a few simple steps thanks to its modular design. The 2-lens ED refractor can be used as a normal telescope with a 70 mm aperture and 420 mm focal length for observing and photographing the night sky. The Doublet ED lens will provide an excellent image. It can be used with a standard 2-inch zenith mirror on the Feather-Touch focuser.
Of course, with an additional Amici prism, the telescope can also be used during the day for nature and landscape observation.
This makes the LS60MT, with its small dimensions and low weight, also an ideal travel telescope for all applications!
More applications:
With additional accessories available, the LS60MT offers even more possibilities!
- Double stack
The LS60MT telescope can be optionally upgraded with the additionally available LS50FHa or LS60FHa double stack filters (part numbers 0550200 and 0550250). These filters will simply screw onto the front of the LS60MT, no additional adapters are required. In this way, a bandwidth of
- Solar observation in white light is achieved
If the H-alpha unit has been removed, of course a solar filter can be used to install in front of the objective or a Herschel wedge in the focuser to observe sunspots in white light.
- Solar observation at Ca-K wavelength
Certainly, Lunt Solar Systems Ca-K filter modules can also be used on the LS60MT to observe and photograph supergranulation and other visible effects at this wavelength on the sun.
this makes the LS60MT a fully universal usable telescope!
