Absolutely safe, no danger to eyes
Multi-purpose modular telescope, both for solar observation in the H-alpha wavelength and for observations of the night sky. Easy conversion between different applications in just a few steps. 2-lens ED apo telescope with FPL-53 glass, 80 mm aperture and 560 mm focal length: very good image quality for solar observation in the H-alpha wavelength and for night sky observations.
With innovative air pressure tuning system, good 2-inch (50.8 mm) R&P focuser and B1800 blocking filter.
H-alpha solar observation:
The LS80MT/B1800 is a complete telescope for observing the Sun in H-alpha light, with a clear 80 mm aperture (no central obstruction) and a focal length of 560 mm. The H-alpha wavelength is the most impressive way to observe the Sun, revealing prominences in the solar limb, filaments and flares on the surface, and much more. An internal Etalon filter achieves a half-wavelength of
Focusing is by a 2-inch R&P stable focuser with 1:10 reduction.
The locking filter is the B1800. The B1800 is well suited for visual solar observation and also for solar photography.
The zenith mirror, in which the blocking filter is installed, is equipped as standard with both a 1.25-inch eyepiece receptacle and a T2 connection for cameras.
Night sky observation:
Thanks to its modular design, the Etalon H-alpha system can be disassembled from the telescope in just a few steps. With the additionally available conversion kit (item number 0551330), the 2-lens ED refractor can be used as a normal telescope with an aperture of 80 mm and a focal length of 560 mm for observing and photographing the night sky. The FPL-53 doublet objective lens provides a very pure color image. The standard 2-inch diagonal star mirrors can be used with the high quality R&P focuser from conversion kit 0551330.
Note that the optionally available 0551330 conversion kit 0551330 is absolutely necessary if the telescope is also to be used at night.
Other applications:
With the additionally available accessories, the LS80MT offers even more possibilities.
- Double battery
The LS80MT telescope can be optionally retrofitted with the DSII/SFPT double-stack module (article number 0551395). The DSII system is an internal double-stack module with pressure tuner, which achieves a half-swath of
- White light sun observation
If the H-alpha unit has been removed and conversion kit 0551330 has been installed, a solar filter that is installed in front of the objective or a Herschel wedge on the focuser can be used to observe sunspots in white light.
- Observing the sun at Ca-K wavelengths
Of course, Lunt Solar Systems' Ca-K filter modules can also be used on the LS80MT to observe and photograph supergranulation and other effects of the sun visible at this wavelength.
