Premium H-alpha telescope with professional resolving power<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Lunt LS80MT ST 80\/560 Ha B1200 R&P All-round OTA<\/strong> is a high-end solar telescope for advanced observers and solar photographers who want to capture structural details on the solar surface with maximum sharpness. With an 80 mm aperture, completely obstruction-free optics and a bandwidth fine enough for high-contrast H-alpha visibility, this telescope offers a noticeable leap forward from the LS60MT series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The larger aperture gives you more resolution (1.73\u2033), which is especially visible in fine structures such as filament edges, spicules and shape changes in prominences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modular design: from H-alpha to ED-apo in minutes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like all of Lunt's MT models, the LS80MT is fully modular. The internal H-alpha etalon can be removed, after which the telescope turns into a high-quality 80 mm ED-apo with FPL-51 glass. This makes it a particularly flexible instrument for night observation and photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2019At night, you can use the telescope for sharp shots of the moon, planetary details such as Jupiter shadows and Saturn rings, and bright deep-sky objects such as the Orion Nebula. During the day, you'll enjoy dynamic H-alpha detail without concessions in contrast or stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Large B1200 block filter: ideal for photography and larger sensors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The B1200 version is suitable for both visual use and photography and gives you a wider field of view than the B600 variant. This is especially important if you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • works with a larger camera sensor,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • used a binoviewer,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • or larger prominences fully in view.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The high-quality FMC coatings and the finely adjustable pressure-controlled filter system make it possible to quickly find the optimum sweet spot for prominences and surface textures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Robust build quality with precise Rack & Pinion focuser<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The LS80MT comes with a 2-inch Rack & Pinion focuser with 1:10 fine adjustment, allowing you to focus effortlessly even at high magnifications or during H-alpha photography. The tube is all-metal construction with sturdy tube rings, an integrated handle and a transport case that provides protection during transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With a transport length of only 500 mm, the telescope is surprisingly compact for its class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What we recommend (including what you can see with it)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    With the Lunt LS80MT Ha B1200<\/strong> you can count on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • \u2713 Very sharp prominences along the sun's edge<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • \u2713 Filaments, plages, active regions and prominent spicule structures<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • \u2713 Higher surface sharpness than LS60 models thanks to 80 mm aperture<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • \u2713 Great stability for H-alpha photography, even with larger sensors<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • \u2713 Ability to use as an ED-apo for moon, planets and bright nebulae<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • \u2713 Perfect for advanced users who want maximum detail reproduction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      If you primarily want to photograph, then the B1200 is ideal. If you have a very large sensor or often use a binoviewer, then a B1800 variant is even more broadly suitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
