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 FLP53 doublet for nighttime and 80mm 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 LS80MT Standard Kit brings serious aperture to hydrogen-alpha observation. With 80mm of light-gathering power through a 560mm f/7 doublet objective, this telescope reveals solar detail that smaller instruments simply cannot match — finer prominence structure, more subtle filament threading, and greater contrast across active regions.
The internal pressure-tuned etalon delivers 0.4Å verified bandpass with Doppler True Barometric Pressure Tuning for precise bandpass optimisation. A turn of the pressure knob shifts the etalon bandpass smoothly across the entire 80mm aperture, letting you scan through the chromosphere in depth. No angle-dependent sweet spots, no compromised field edges. Uniform performance from centre to edge. The integrated solar handle with built-in red dot finder transforms setup and transport. Carry the telescope securely with one hand while the finder stays permanently aligned and ready.
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. 80mm of aperture collects 4x the light of a 40mm telescope and more than 2x that of a 50mm, 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 80mm 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.
