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.
- Standard 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 Standard Kit - Lunt's Most Popular Dedicated Solar Telescope!
The LS50THa Standard Kit puts serious hydrogen-alpha capability in your hands at Lunt's most accessible price point for a pressure-tuned instrument. 50mm of unobstructed aperture with an internal Doppler True pressure-tuned etalon delivers 0.6Å bandpass — tight enough to reveal prominences arcing off the limb, filaments snaking across the disk, and active regions alive with magnetic detail.
Pressure tuning is what sets the LS50THa apart. A turn of the knob shifts the etalon bandpass smoothly across the entire aperture, letting you scan through the chromosphere in depth. Watch prominences brighten as you tune toward the blue wing, then shift to the red and watch surface structure sharpen into focus. It is the feature that transforms solar observing from looking at the Sun to exploring it.
At just over 3 lbs (1.4 kgs) with a 350mm f/7 optical system, the LS50THa travels effortlessly. The integrated clamshell mounting base accepts the included Vixen dovetail for any compatible mount, or sits securely on a photo tripod. The SunLock solar finder gets you on-target safely in seconds. The 12mm flat-field eyepiece with 0.1% AR coatings provides 29x magnification for detailed views of surface activity and limb prominences.


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?
Everything you need. Nothing you don't. Ready to observe straight from the case, with your choice of mount (sold seperately). The LS50THa Standard is your fastest path to pressure-tuned hydrogen-alpha observing. The integrated clamshell base means setup takes minutes. The helical focuser provides smooth, precise focus control. Unpack, mount, and you are watching the chromosphere
