Large H-alpha field of view for photography with maximum detail reproduction<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Lunt LS80MT ST 80\/560 Ha B1200<\/strong> is designed for serious solar photographers and advanced observers who need both high resolution and a wider field of view. The B1800 block filter gives you significantly more margin at large camera sensors, binoviewers and higher magnifications, without vignetting or image compression. The result: more stable, wider and sharply delineated H-alpha structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The combination of an 80 mm aperture and the obstruction-free design yields visibly more fine structure than smaller H-alpha telescopes. Filaments, prominences and spicule fields show nuances that are more subtle or less defined in 60 mm models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modular system: H-alpha by day, ED-apo by night<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lunt's MT platform is known for its flexibility. Removing the H-alpha etalon module transforms the telescope into a high-performance 80 mm ED doublet (FPL-51)<\/strong> with FMC coating. That gives you a fully functioning night refractor for moon, planets and bright deep-sky objects - without having to own two telescopes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In H-alpha mode, the telescope remains very compact (500 mm transport length), but with a robust build quality perfectly suited to serious photography setups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

G<\/strong>B1800 block filter: ideal for large sensors and professional setups<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The difference between the B1200 and B1800 is huge for photographers. The B1800 gives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • more field of view<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • less risk of vignetting<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Better performance with APS-C and larger sensors<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • more comfort when using bino viewers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • broader fine-tuning in prominence photography<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    This makes the LS80MT B1800 version the preferred choice for astrophotographers who want maximum flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Accurate Rack & Pinion focuser with 1:10 fine adjustment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The 2-inch Rack & Pinion focuser with 1:10 reduction offers mechanical stability and precision - crucial when working with heavy cameras, barlows or binoviewers. Even at high magnification, focusing remains controlled and shock-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The telescope comes complete with handle, tube rings and a sturdy transport case, suitable for safe transportation and mounting on any Vixen-style dovetail.<\/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 B1800<\/strong> you can count on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • \u2713 wide and stable H-alpha image without vignetting<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • \u2713 prominences with layered structure and fine edge details<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • \u2713 filaments, plages, spicolevels and active regions in high resolution<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • \u2713 optimal use with larger cameras (APS-C, IMX183, IMX571 etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • \u2713 deployment as ED-apo for moon, planets and bright nebulae (with night module)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • \u2713 suitable for advanced sun photographers and users who want maximum freedom in field of view<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      For beginners, the LS80MT is too advanced; for advanced users, this is one of the most versatile H-alpha systems in its class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
