All-in-One Day & Night Telescope: Quickly switch between solar observing (H‑alpha, Ca-K, White Light), terrestrial viewing, and nighttime astronomy with the same modular telescope.
-
High-Contrast Solar Imaging: Single-stack H‑alpha delivers <0.7 Å bandpass, while optional double-stack drops to <0.5 Å for stunning, nearly 3D views of prominences, filaments, and active regions.
-
Premium Optics & Focuser: 130 mm ED triplet lens with rack-and-pinion focuser ensures sharp, color-corrected views for both solar and night-time use.
-
Complete Advanced Package: Includes all essential accessories, from blocking filters and wedges to eyepieces, star diagonals, dovetails, and a rugged carrying case - ready for observing right out of the box
Lunt Solar System: The Universe is yours, Day or Night!
The Lunt Solar Systems 130mm Modular Telescope (LS130MT) is the newest to join the line up, allowing you to enjoy the full range of astronomical observation with only one telescope! At 130mm aperture, the LS130MT is big enough to impress in any configuration, while remaining easily transportable for use during the day or night. Enjoy detailed views of prominences, surface texture, active regions, and filaments with the high-quality performance for which Lunt Solar Systems is admired. Plus, the True Doppler Tuning pressure system (included with all Modular Telescopes) lets you make very fine adjustments, helping you pull out the best possible views of the Sun.

Notable Features
-
Functions as both a Hydrogen-Alpha solar telescope and a 130 mm ED APO refractor for night time astronomy.
-
Delivers smooth, and accurate focusing even with heavy imaging payloads.
-
Offers f/7 light-gathering power and crisp, color-corrected views with FPL-51 glass
-
Lunt’s signature internal pressure tuner allows ultra-fine wavelength adjustments, revealing detail in prominences, filaments, and active regions.

Comes equipped with wedges, blocking filters, diagonals, eyepieces, and a hard case, giving you a ready-to-use setup straight out of the box.
For Stars Near and Far
When used in solar mode the LS130MT becomes an exceptional tool for solar observation. Its 130 mm ED triplet objective and internal pressure-tuned H-alpha etalon let you view solar features like prominences, surface granulation, active regions, filaments and more with high contrast. In single-stack configuration it delivers a bandwidth under < 0.7 angstrom, and with the optional double-stack module the bandpass tightens to under < 0.5 angstrom, making solar details “pop” with impressive clarity and almost a 3-D effect. With this setup, the LS130MT gives you a powerful, precise window into the dynamic activity of our star.
Deep Space Deep Dive
At night, the LS130MT transforms into a high‑quality 130 mm APO refractor, perfect for moon, planetary, and deep‑sky viewing. Once you remove the solar etalon and filters, its 130 mm aperture and 910 mm focal length (f/7) give you plenty of light‑gathering power and sharp detail. Because of its modular design, switching from solar to night mode is quick and easy, making it a versatile telescope whether you’re observing the Sun by day or exploring the stars at night. The LS130MT’s ED triplet lens also keeps color aberration low, so planets, star clusters, and brighter nebulae appear clear and crisp through the eyepiece.
Optical Advantage
The LS130MT uses a triplet ED (Extra-low Dispersion) apochromatic objective lens design, giving it premium optics delivering sharp, crisp, and color-accurate views. The ED glass dramatically reduces chromatic aberration and distortions you sometimes see with lower-end lenses. You get clean, true-to-life images whether you’re observing the Sun, planets, or deep-sky objects. That clarity and contrast make fine details, like solar surface features, planetary bands, or distant nebulae, much easier to spot and enjoy.
All-in-one Advance Package
This package includes everything you need right out of the box - a B1800 blocking filter, 2-invh white‑light wedge w/ polarizer, calcium‑K wedge, 2-inch star diagonal, step adapters, high quality focuser, both a 27 mm eyepiece and a 7‑21 mm zoom eyepiece, sturdy 10" Vixen‑style dovetail with tube rings, red‑dot solar finder/handle, and finally a rugged hard carrying case with custom foam! All together this means you’re ready to switch between H‑alpha solar imaging, Calcium‑K solar viewing, white‑light solar observation, and night‑time imaging in minutes.
Rack and Pinion Ready
One of the standout features of the LS130MT is its precision dual-speed 2-inch rack and pinion focuser. It uses a gear-based mechanism that delivers smooth, accurate, and repeatable focusing - even when using heavy eyepieces or imaging gear. The dual-speed design means you get coarse control for rough focusing, and fine control for subtle adjustments, ideal when you’re aiming for high-magnification views of the Sun or deep-sky objects. Because it’s built with tight tolerances and strong materials, the focuser stays stable and secure under load, so you don’t have to worry about slippage or drift during long observing or imaging sessions.
B1800 Break Down
The LS130MT is equipped with the B1800 blocking filter, offering observers a safe, high-contrast window into the H-alpha (Ha) Sun! Sharp, rich views of prominences, filaments, and surface details are Ha solar filters specialties. This blocking filter ensures only the tightly filtered light reaches your eyepiece or camera. For those seeking more detail, in particular finer structures, or faint prominences adding an optional double-stacked blocking filter dramatically enhances the visual experience! Doubling the etalons reduces the light passing through the Ha filter from around < 0.65 angstrom (single stack) down to roughly < 0.45 angstrom. This tighter bandpass further increases contrast providing razor-sharp rendering of subtle solar features.
True Doppler Tuning
True Doppler Tuning lets you slightly shift the view into or away from the Sun’s surface, giving the image a subtle 3D effect. While this doesn’t change the look of prominences much, since they sit at the edge of the Sun - it does help reveal more detail in filaments and active regions on the surface. When viewing a filament near the center of the Sun, you can even “scan” from its base to its tip by adjusting the tuning, allowing you to follow its structure as it moves toward or away from you. This provides better visual and imaging performance and can be a helpful tool for serious hobbyists. The pressure-tuning system also offers much finer control, making it easier to bring out specific solar features.
