Lunt Solar Systems has recently upgraded this telescope with a new 0.6Å etalon (standard), delivering even higher contrast and finer solar detail than previous versions. All orders will ship with this latest, improved configuration—no action needed.
- Enhanced solar kit includes everything needed to start exploring the Sun in Hydrogen-alpha right out of the box (mount and camera not included)
- Pressure Tuning etalons reveal stunning prominences, filaments, and solar surface detail with impressive contrast
- Compact 50 mm grab-and-go design makes solar observing easy at home or on the road
- Upgradeable double-stack front-mounted filter avaliable for richer solar detail and contrast (sold separately)
LS50 Enhanced Kit - Lunt's Most Popular Dedicated Solar Telescope!
The LS50THa Enhanced Kit upgrades two things that matter most once you have spent time at the eyepiece: mechanical precision and magnification range. The 1.25" rack-and-pinion focuser replaces the standard helical design with CNC-machined components, an integrated brake that eliminates focus drift, and the load capacity to handle cameras and filter wheels when you are ready to image. The difference is immediate — smoother travel, positive lock, and the confidence that your focus point stays exactly where you set it.
Three flat-field eyepieces cover the magnification range you will actually use. The 8mm (44x) pushes in tight on active regions when seeing cooperates. The 12mm (29x) is your all-purpose solar eyepiece — enough magnification for surface detail with enough field to keep context. The 16mm (22x) pulls back for full-disk views and prominence surveys along the limb. All three feature 60° apparent fields and 0.1% AR coatings, minimising ghost reflections in the narrow-band optical path.
Please note: Mounts and tripods shown are for display purposes only and are not included with Solar Ready packages.
What You'll See!
The chromosphere in hydrogen-alpha light is a place of constant drama. Prominences — towering arcs and loops of plasma — rise off the limb and hang suspended against the blackness of space. Some are stable for hours; others erupt and reshape before your eyes. Filaments trace dark, sinuous paths across the disk where magnetic field lines suspend plasma above the surface. Active regions glow with concentrated energy, marking the zones where the Sun's magnetic field is most intense. With pressure tuning, you do not just see these features — you explore them. Adjust the tuner knob and watch the view shift in real time. The effect is three-dimensional: you are scanning through the chromosphere in depth, watching structures appear and recede as you move through the spectral line.
Why This Package?
This is the package for the observer who has caught the solar bug and wants to go deeper. The rack-and-pinion focuser is a permanent upgrade to your observing experience — once you feel the difference in mechanical precision, you will not want to go back. Three dedicated solar eyepieces mean you always have the right magnification without compromise.
