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.
- Flagship solar kit includes everything needed to begin exploring the Sun in hydrogen-alpha right out of the box (mount and camera not included)
- Internal pressure-tuned 0.4Å hydrogen-alpha system reveals stunning prominences, filaments, and detailed solar surface activity
- Versatile modular design quickly converts from a dedicated solar telescope into a premium nighttime ED refractor for deep-sky use
- Including the 130mm Internal Double Stack for ultra-narrow <0.28Å, delivering exceptional solar contrast
LS130MT Flagship Kit — 130mm Universal Solar & Astronomical Telescope
At 130mm of clear aperture through a professional-grade FLP51 ED triplet objective, the LS130MT Flagship Kit operates in a class that has no meaningful competition. This is the instrument that serious solar observers spend years working toward — the telescope that reveals the chromosphere not as a feature to observe, but as a landscape to inhabit. Paired with the LFPT internal double-stack module and its <0.28Å combined system bandpass, it delivers chromospheric contrast and resolution that very few human beings have ever experienced outside of dedicated research observatories.
This is also, without modification, a world-class astronomical refractor. Remove the solar module and the LS130MT becomes a 130mm f/7 FLP51 ED triplet — 910mm of premium focal length delivering planetary detail, lunar topography, and deep-sky views that most observers never encounter outside of observatory eyepieces. One instrument. Two disciplines. No compromise in either.
The Solar Experience
Point the LS130MT at the Sun with the LFPT double-stack active and the chromosphere opens up in a way that demands a moment of stillness before you begin observing. The scale of what 130mm of aperture collects — combined with <0.28Å bandpass that strips away everything except the precise hydrogen-alpha signature — produces a view that experienced observers consistently describe as transformational.
Supergranulation cells resolve as a structured, living network rather than a diffuse background texture. Individual intergranular lanes become visible at the boundaries between cells, tracing the magnetic skeleton of the chromosphere. Plage regions surrounding active areas glow with an intensity that reveals their magnetic field concentration — not as a uniform brightness but as a complex, internally structured landscape of knots and threads. Filaments show multiple dark strands with distinct boundaries, suspended above the photosphere in magnetic channels whose geometry becomes legible at this aperture and bandpass. Active regions display their full magnetic architecture — penumbral flows, light bridges, Ellerman bombs — in real time, evolving visibly over the course of a single observing session.
Prominences at 130mm and <0.28Å are extraordinary. Internal threading resolves from base to tip. Flow patterns within prominence plasma become traceable. Structural evolution — the slow rotation of a hedgerow prominence, the accelerating unraveling of an eruptive event — becomes visible on timescales of minutes rather than hours. The Doppler True dual pressure tuning system lets you shift through the hydrogen-alpha line with precision, watching the entire chromospheric landscape respond in real time as you scan from blue wing to red. This is not solar observing. This is solar science.
The Night Experience
Remove the H-alpha module and the LS130MT becomes a different instrument entirely — though no less impressive. The 130mm FLP51 ED triplet at f/7 delivers 910mm of focal length with the colour correction and contrast that serious planetary and deep-sky observers demand. Jupiter's cloud bands and the Great Red Spot in high-contrast colour. Saturn's ring system with Cassini Division resolved on steady nights. The Moon as a geological landscape — crater walls, rilles, and ray systems rendered with the sharpness that only premium apochromatic glass can provide. Globular clusters resolved to their cores. Double stars split at the theoretical limit of the aperture. The same instrument that showed you the chromosphere in extraordinary detail by day reveals the universe in extraordinary detail by night.
