Description
Lunt 100mm LS100MT/B1200R&P Universal OTA – Day & Night Precision
Enjoy everything the Sun has to offer — prominences, surface granulation, active regions, filaments and more seem to leap from our closest star, all captured in the stellar quality performance you expect from a Lunt Telescope.
When the Sun sets, simply remove your hydrogen alpha module, replace your focuser, and let the nighttime in!
The Lunt 100 mm packs a powerful triplet ED APO lens (FPL53 glass) that will guide you across the Milky Way in stunning detail. Now you have a top-of-the-line, extra-low dispersion (ED) nighttime telescope to view planets, stars, the Moon and anything else in between!
A True Universal Telescope
With optional accessories, the LS100MT can be adapted for:
- CaK solar observations (393.4nm wavelength)
- White light solar viewing using a Herschel wedge
- Deep-sky astrophotography with an ED doublet refractor
Included Components
- 100mm Universal Day & Night Telescope
- H-alpha with B1200
- Mounting rings
- Red Dot Sun Finder
- 8″ dovetail.
- Rack and Pinion Focuser
SOLAR WARNING
- Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or with an optic (unless you have the proper solar filter). Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result.
- Never use your optic to project an image of the Sun onto any surface. Internal heat build-up can damage the optic and any accessories attached to it.
- Never leave your optic unsupervised. Make sure an adult who is familiar with the correct operating procedures is with your optic at all times, especially when children are present.
