LUNT LS40THa/B1200 H-alpha solar telescope

Blocking-filter in 90° zenith mirror diagonal, for telescopes up to 1080mm focal length, and with 2 inch (50.8mm) focuser. Can only be used together with a LUNT H-alpha filter, or with a LUNT H-alpha telescope!Lunt Solar Systems offers blocking-filters in different sizes, and alternatively in 90° star-diagonal housings or straight extension tubes. You can choose what blocking-filter you will use at your LUNT H-alpha Etalon system.The B1200d2 is installed in a 90° star-diagonal housing, for 2 inch (50.8mm) focuser on the telescope side, and with T2 thread and 1.25 inch (31.7mm) eyepiece connection on the eyepiece side. The B1200d2 can be used at LUNT H-alpha systems, if the used telescope has a 2 inch focuser and up to 1080mm focal length.The blocking-filter can not be used without additional H-alpha filter system from Lunt Solar Systems! Blocking-filters are absolutely required for the safety and performance of H-alpha telescopes for solar observing. Lunt Solar Systems blocking-filters contain a unique filter system. We can only warranty safety or performance, if blocking-filter is paired with a H-alpha filter or H-alpha telescope of Lunt Solar Systems.At the tab ''Accessories'' you will find H-Alpha telescopes and filters with which this blocking filter can be combined.FEATURESBlocking-filter only usable at additional H-alpha filter systemFilter diameter: 12mmUsable at telescopes up to 1080mm focal90° star-diagonal housing2 inch slide tube for 2 inch focuserConnection for 1.25 inch eyepiecesT2 thread for camera connectionSCOPE OF DELIVERYBlocking-filter B1200d2 in 90° star-diagonal for 2 inch focuser

Modular designed multipurpose telescope, both for observing the sun in the H-alpha wavelength, as well as for night sky observations. Easy conversion between the different applications with a few simple steps. Excellent image quality due to 2-lens ED optics with 70mm aperture for night sky observation, and 60mm usable aperture for H-alpha solar observation.With innovative air pressure tuning system, high-quality 2 inch (50.8mm) Rack&Pinion (R&P) focuser, and B1200 blocking filter.Solar observing in H-alpha:The LS60MT/B1200 is a complete telescope for observing the sun in H-alpha light, with 60mm free aperture (no central obstruction) and 420mm 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 internal Etalon filter achieves a bandwidth of <0.7 Angstrom with the innovative air pressure tuning system Pressure-Tuner. Tuning is done by slightly changing the air pressure in a pressure chamber inside the telescope. This changes the refractive index of the air, making it easy to tune to the H-alpha line. The pressure tuner guarantees a homogeneous image, without central obstruction, and a permanently protected Etalon without erosion. A set of collimating lenses installed in the telescope ensures best performance.Fine adjustment is achieved with a solid 2 inch Rack&Pinion focuser with 10:1 reduction.Blocking-filter is the B1200. The B1200 is very good for visual solar observing, and also for solar imaging.The star diagonal in which the blocking filter is installed, is equipped as standard for 1.25 inch eyepieces and with a T2 camera connection.Observing the starry night sky:The H-alpha Etalon system can be removed from the telescope in a few easy steps thanks to its modular design. The 2-lens ED refractor can then be used as a normal telescope with 70mm aperture and 420mm focal length for observation and photography of the night sky. The ED Doublet lens will offer an excellent image. It can be used with a standard 2 inch zenith mirror or other accessories at the R&P focuser, the back focus is 135mm.With an additional Amici prism, the telescope can of course also be used during the day for nature and landscape observations.This makes the LS60MT, with its small dimensions and low weight, also an ideal travel telescope for all applications!More applications:With additionally available accessories the LS60MT offers even more possibilities!- Double-StackThe LS60MT telescope can optionally be upgraded with the additionally available double-stack filters LS50FHa or LS60FHa (part numbers 0550200 and 0550250). These filters will be simply screwed on the front of the LS60MT, no additional adapters are necessary. Thereby a bandwidth of <0.5 Angstrom is achieved for H-alpha solar observation. Therefore much more details on the solar surface will become visible.- Solar observing in White-LightIf the H-alpha unit has been removed, of course either a sun filter to be installed in front of the objective, or a Herschel-wedge at the focuser can be used to observe the sunspots in White-Light.- Solar observing in Ca-K wavelengthCertainly, the Ca-K filter modules from Lunt Solar Systems can also be used at the LS60MT to observe and photograph super-granulation and other effects visible in this wavelength on the sun.This makes the LS60MT a completely universal usable telescope!FEATURES2-lens ED refractor, FPL-51Aperture: 70mmUsable aperture in H-alpha: 60mm (no central obstruction)Focal length: 420mmBandwidth: internal Etalon with <0.7 AngstromTuning: air pressure tuning system Pressure-TunerBlocking filter: B1200 with 1.25 inch and T2 connectionFocuser: Rack&Pinion focuser with 10:1 reductionTube-ring with 1/4-20 tapped base (standard thread for photo-tripods)Weight with H-alpha unit: 3.8kgWeight without H-alpha unit: 2.6kgLength with H-alpha unit and blocking filter: 40cmLength without H-alpha unit: 31cmSCOPE OF DELIVERYLS60MT Multipurpose TelescopePressure-TunerB1200 blocking filter in star-diagonal housing2 inch Rack&Pinion focuserTube ring with 1/4-20 connection for mounting on photo-tripodsTransport case (53x33x17cm)Instruction manual
