Tele Vue 2.0x Barlow 1.25" (BLW-2125)
Product Description
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
The Lunt Mini is a non-rotating helical focuser that provides a T2 (male) to T2 (female) thread connection. The focuser has 10 mm of precision travel, a brass compression ring for protection of eyepieces, and a locking collar. The T2 thread design is ideal for fine camera/eyepiece focus.
Blocking Filter
The Blocking Filter houses additional filters which are required for the safety and performance of the solar package. In addition, Lunt Solar blocking filters contain a unique filter system. We can only warranty safety or performance when one of our blocking filters is paired with a Lunt H-alpha filter or telescope.
Includes the B600 Blocking Filter in a 1.25" Diagonal
