One telescope for the sun during the day and the stars at night<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Lunt LS60MT B600<\/strong> is developed for demanding solar observation in H-alpha. Thanks to the unobstructed free 60 mm etalon aperture, the telescope utilizes its full resolving power: prominences, filaments, active regions, and fine structures in the chromosphere appear with clear contrast. And when the sun is down, you can convert it into a 70 mm ED refractor in just a few steps for the Moon, planets, and bright deep-sky objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modular design: H-alpha module out, night telescope over<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What makes the LS60MT special is its modular design. The H-alpha etalon module can be easily removed from the tube, leaving a 2-element ED refractor with FPL-51 glass, 70mm aperture, and 420mm focal length (f\/6). This makes it one of the few solar telescopes that can be used around the clock, even for night photography with the T2 camera connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pressure-Tuner: wear-resistant tuning across the entire image<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Pressure-Tuner precisely tunes the internal etalon through subtle pressure regulation in an air chamber. This shifts the refractive index exactly over the H-alpha line, resulting in a homogeneous image from edge to edge. The system experiences no wear and operates reliably at any altitude and temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B600-blockfilter: ready for visual and planet camera<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The integrated B600 block filter (6mm clear aperture) is housed in a zenith mirror with a 1.25-inch eyepiece holder and T2 connection. This is more than sufficient for visual observation and photography with smaller sensors, such as planetary cameras. If you work with a large camera sensor, the B1200 block filter is the logical upgrade; you will find it below as an accessory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supplied complete<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The LS60MT comes with a 2-inch rack-and-pinion focuser with a 1:10 fine adjustment, solar finder, tube rings with tripod mount, and a sturdy carrying case. With a tube weight of 3.8 kg, it fits on a photo tripod with a video head or a light astronomical mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
