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.
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 B1200 blocking filter is well-suited to visual solar observation. Solar photography is also possible with cameras which have a small sensor chip, namely typical planetary cameras. For cameras with medium-sized or large sensors, a telescope with a larger blocking filter should be used so that the sensor will be well illuminated.
