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.
- Standard 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
- Supports optional double-stacking for even richer solar detail and contrast (sold separately)
LS130MT Standard Kit — 130mm Universal Solar & Astronomical Telescope
There are solar telescopes. And then there is the Lunt LS130MT. At 130mm of clear aperture through a professional-grade FLP51 ED triplet objective, the LS130MT Standard Kit operates in a class that has no meaningful competition. This is the instrument that serious solar observers work toward for years. It reveals the chromosphere not as a feature to see, but as a place to explore. 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
Pointing the LS130MT at the Sun delivers a breathtaking, highly detailed view of the solar atmosphere. Thanks to its large 130mm aperture and double-stacked filters, the Sun's surface changes from a blurry texture into a sharp, living network of magnetic activity. You can easily see the complex structure of bright active regions, individual dark strands of solar filaments, and changing details around sunspots—all evolving in real time during a single viewing session.
Solar prominences—giant loops of plasma shooting into space—are truly spectacular. You can trace the moving plasma flows inside them and watch them twist and erupt over minutes instead of hours. Finally, the dual pressure tuning system lets you precisely scan across the hydrogen-alpha light wavelength, showing you how the entire solar landscape responds instantly. This isn't just looking at the Sun; it is doing real 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.
