Warning notes
  • Safety instructions: There are certain dangers when observing the sun, regardless of the telescope used. Lunt-Solar-Systems places great emphasis on the safety of their products during manufacture. Your safety is the highest priority, and we ask that you carefully read the telescope manual before beginning solar observation. Please never disassemble the telescope! Never use it if it has been modified or damaged in any way! Always contact our customer service if you have any questions regarding the safety of your instrument. Never look at the sun with an unprotected eye or with a telescope not intended for solar observation! Never leave your telescope unattended while it is pointed at the sun! Other people who are unfamiliar with it might attempt to replace the block filter with another prism, unaware of how critical this filter is for safety. The components of Lunt-Solar-Systems telescopes are not interchangeable with those of other manufacturers. Lunt-Solar-Systems solar telescopes contain several different optical elements that have been precisely adjusted and mounted during manufacture. These systems require no maintenance. Never disassemble the telescope. Doing so will void the warranty, potentially leading to expensive repairs, and may cause future damage to your instrument, compromising your safety! Most Lunt-Solar-Systems telescopes and filters include a very sensitive optical component called an Etalon. These Etalons are built into the system to protect them as best as possible. Countless considerations have been made to ensure the best performance of this "heart" of every system, even under the daily stresses it inevitably faces, such as shocks and vibrations during transport or regular use. Nevertheless, it should never be dropped. Improper use of the telescope can damage the Etalon (not a warranty case) and render the system unusable until repaired. The instrument should always be stored in its original packaging or in the optional transport case (item number 0554010). Like any optical precision instrument, it should be stored in a dry environment. With proper care, you will enjoy your instrument for a lifetime!

LUNT LS40THa/B500 H-alpha solar telescope
Solar observation in H-Alpha: prominences, filaments, flares ... the most spectacular way to see the Sun - easy and affordable with the LS40THa.Complete H-alpha solar telescope with 40mm aperture, <0.7 Angstrom bandwidth, B500 blocking-filter, and Helical focuser.The LS40THa/B500 is a complete telescope for observing the sun in H-alpha, with 40mm aperture (no central obstruction) and 400mm focal length. The H-alpha wavelength is the most impressive way to observe the sun, showing protuberances at the sun's edge, filaments and flares on the surface, and much more. An Etalon with mechanical tilt-tuning provides <0.7 Angstrom bandwidth.Fine adjustment is achieved with a 1.25 inch Helical focuser. Blocking-filter is the B500, this is good for visual observation of the sun. The star diagonal in which the blocking filter is installed, is equipped as standard for 1.25 inch eyepiece connection.The easy handling makes this telescope ideal for starting H-Alpha solar observation. Due to its compact dimensions it is also a good travel telescope for the experienced solar observers.The LS40THa telescopes are available with choice of B500, B600 or B1200 blocking filters. The larger blocking filters provide less edge obstruction and a larger field of view for visual observation and photography. Please note that these telescopes have only a very small back focus and therefore photography is difficult. We recommend special astro cameras for photography, which have a very short distance to the sensor, such as the BRESSER Full HD camera item number 4959050.FEATURESAperture: 40mm (no central obstruction, 2-lens refractor)Focal length: 400mmBandwidth: <0.7 AngstromTuning: mechanical tilt-tuningBlocking filter: B500 with 1.25 inch connectionFocuser: Helical focuserDovetail bar at standard GP-level1/4-20 tapped base (standard thread for photo-tripods)Sol-Searcher includedWeight: 1.2kgLength: 41cmSCOPE OF DELIVERYLS40THa Solar TelescopeB500 blocking filter in star-diagonal housing1.25 inch Helical focuserDovetail bar (GP level)Sol-SearcherInstruction manual

LUNT LS130TBP&F conversion kit for LS130MT
The LS130MT/B3400 telescopes can be upgraded with this conversion kit. This allows to explore the Sun at different wavelengths with one and the same telescope, and the telescope can also be used for observing and photographing the starry night sky.You can replace the H-Alpha system of the LS130MT/B3400 telescope with this conversion kit in just a few easy steps. This makes it possible to observe the sun in H-alpha, in the light of the Calcium-K wavelength, or in White-Light - with one and the same telescope!You will only need the additional Ca-K module for LS130MT (item number 0551697), or a LUNT Herschel-wedge (item number 0558201 or 0558211).But there is more: With this conversion kit the LS130MT/B3400 can also be used as a 3-lens apochromatic telescope for astronomical observations and photography at night!This conversion kit turns the LS130MT into a real all-round telescope!This conversion kit was specially designed for the LS130MT/B3400 H-Alpha telescope. Included is a completely new focuser. Simply loosen three knurled screws at the LS130MT/B3400, which hold the H-Alpha unit together with the focuser. Here the new focuser will be fixed, and you have already made your LS130MT a adequate triplet ED apochromatic telescope.This conversion kit can also be used at the LS130MT/B1200 and LS130MT/B1800 telescopes, but it is not necessary there. This conversion kit is only necessary at the LS130MT/B3400, because at this telescope the blocking filter is fix installed inside the focuser.SCOPE OF DELIVERY2" Focuser with 10:1 reduction and adapter to LS130MT telescopeInstruction manualLS130THa telescope not included! Can only be used together with an LS130MT solar telescope.Also available as set together with Ca-K module for LS130MT (item number 0551695)
