Why we love the Lunt 50mm Dedicated Ha Solar Telescope - Feather Touch Focuser

We've had Lunt build these with an upgraded 6mm blocking filter and  the legendary Feather-Touch focuser. What that means is that you get a way wider field of view and precise control over fine focus with this scope. These are fantastic visual instruments, and the way that they're specced here they make a great imaging scope as well.  This package comes with the fitted hard case, and zoom eyepiece as well. If you're looking for a little more detail, you can add an optional second etalon to double stack the scope. You can get some genuinely amazing images out of this little scope.  

Product Description

Easily portable and a joy to use, the Lunt 50 mm joins the Lunt Telescope lineup as our smallest aperture offering, while providing the power, amazing detail and quality you expect from a Lunt Telescope — all at an impressive ~4.0 mm solar image size!

This is a 50 mm, unobstructed, pressure-tuned, dedicated Hydrogen-alpha telescope with a bandpass of <0.7 Å. The excitement of viewing our star through a dedicated solar telescope is sure to provide many many hours of visual enjoyment and educational insights.

Furthermore, this package is fully upgradeable at any time without ever having to go back to the factory. Therefore, as the Sun becomes increasingly more active, you will appreciate that the instrument can grow right along with it.

Focuser

Ultra-smooth Feather Touch coarse focus knob (no 10:1 fine focus). Adjustable tension and lock. Rotatable. Glare resistant black internal baffling.

Lunt Zoom Eyepiece

Lunt 7.2 mm - 21.5 mm Zoom Telescope Eyepiece. 1.25" barrel.

Lunt flat-field solar telescope eyepieces are coated with 0.1% anti-reflective coatings — the same coatings we use on our etalons!

Use for nighttime and daytime viewing.
