International orders do not qualify for free shipping. Shipping, duties, brokerage, tariffs, and taxes are the customer’s responsibility. Some items may be restricted due to export, size, or manufacturer limitations.
Lunt Solar Systems has recently upgraded this telescope with a new 0.4Å 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.
- Dramatic H-alpha solar activity observation by day, then switch to deep-sky imaging at night in minutes
- Built around a 70mm FLP51 ED doublet for nighttime and 60mm H-alpha solar for daytime use
- Pressure-tuned etalons reveal incredible solar detail—prominences, filaments, and surface texture
- Optional double-stack front-mounted filter available for ultra-narrow <0.28Å (sold separately)
Lunt Universal Day & Night Solar Telescope: Brighter Prominences and Darker Skies!
The LS60MT is Lunt's most versatile solar telescope — a true universal instrument built around a professional-grade 70mm FLP51 ED doublet objective. By day, the internal pressure-tuned H-alpha module delivers 0.4Å verified bandpass with Doppler True tuning that responds instantly to pressure adjustments. By night, remove the solar module in minutes and you have a premium 70mm f/6 refractor for lunar, planetary, and deep-sky observation.
The FLP51 ED doublet objective provides the colour correction and contrast that observers demand. The 2" dual-speed focuser with 10:1 fine focus handles heavy imaging loads while delivering the micro-adjustment precision that narrow-band solar observation requires. Pressure tuning eliminates the angle-dependent sweet spot of tilt-tuned systems — the entire 60mm aperture delivers uniform bandpass across the field. Dial in prominences at the limb, then instantly shift to surface detail with a twist of the pressure knob.
What You'll See
By day: the full hydrogen-alpha chromosphere at 0.4Å. Prominences arcing off the solar limb. Filaments tracing dark paths across the disk. Active regions alive with magnetic detail. Pressure tuning lets you scan through the chromosphere in depth, watching structures appear and recede as you shift through the spectral line. Sixty millimetres of aperture collects 50% more light than a 50mm instrument, revealing finer structure and brighter prominences.
By night: the Moon in crisp, high-contrast detail. Planetary disks with the colour correction that an ED doublet provides. Deep-sky objects within the reach of a 70mm aperture, from double stars to bright clusters. The same focuser, the same mount, the same optical quality — a complete second telescope built into the one you already own.
