Product description

The Lunt LS130MT is a telescope for observing the Sun in H-alpha light with a half width of <0.7 Angstrom. It is fitted with a B1200 blocking filter for this purpose.

The real star of the show is its modular construction: You can easily remove the H-alpha filter and use the telescope for night observations. The telescope is also expandable for further solar observation. Use a Herschel wedge for observing the Sun in white light or swap the H-alpha filter for a Ca-K module. You can find both in our accessory recommendations.

So that the telescope can be used versatilely, the lens is higher quality than those typically found on other H-alpha telescopes. It is a triple lens apochromat with an ED element, a colour-corrected lens. The focal ratio of f/7 is especially convenient. It is high-speed but allows even greater magnification. Observing the Moon and planets are particularly enjoyable with such as telescope, meaning the Lunt LS130MT can be described as a solar system telescope.

A special conversion kit is required for the LS130MT solar telescope with the large B3400 blocking filter in order to use the telescope at night, with white light filters or with Ca-K filters. This is because the blocking filter is integrated into the focuser in this model. Therefore, the conversion kit contains a complete focuser with no filter. Models from this series with smaller blocking filters do not require separate conversion kits.

In keeping with its high-quality lens, the telescope comes with a Feather Touch focuser from Starlight Instruments. It doesn’t get any better! The focuser enables accessories with 2” sleeves, such as a diagonal mirror or a camera adapter to be connected. A blocking filter, which is integrated into the supplied deflecting optics, is essential for solar observation. This allows lenses to be adapted using a 1.25” sleeve or the tightly screwed connection of a camera with a T2 thread.

PT pressure tuner: Fine-tuning on the Etalon filter is provided via an air pressure system. A small change to air pressure within a pressure chamber inside the telescope changes the refractive index of the air, resulting in precise yet effortless adjustment to the H-alpha spectral line. The pressure tuner guarantees a uniform image with no central obstructions and a long-lasting wear-resistant etalon.

The B3400 blocking filter is very well suited to solar photography using cameras with very large sensor chips and can also be used for visual solar observation. The blocking filter is built into the focuser, not in the deflection optics as in many other solar telescopes; making this telescope ideally suited to solar photography.
