LUNT Ca-K module and conversion kit for LS130MT

1. Wavelength Specificity: The Ca-K module is engineered for observing the Sun in the calcium K-line at 393.4nm. This specific wavelength allows for the detailed study of the lower chromosphere, revealing areas of solar activity and granulation that are distinctly different from those seen in H-alpha or white light.

2. Seamless Integration: This conversion kit is meticulously designed to attach directly and flawlessly to the Lunt LS130MT multipurpose telescope, transforming it into a specialized Ca-K solar observatory. The precise mechanical fit ensures optimal alignment and performance during observation.

3. Precision Focuser: Included is a high-quality 2-inch focuser with an integrated 10:1 reduction gear. This dual-speed mechanism provides unparalleled precision in achieving critical focus, which is essential for capturing the fine details visible at high magnifications when observing the Sun.

4. Optical Performance: Lunt Solar Systems employs advanced optical coatings and stringent quality control during manufacturing to ensure superior image contrast and clarity. The module delivers crisp, high-resolution views, allowing observers to discern subtle features on the solar disk with remarkable fidelity.

ABOUT THE LUNT CA-K MODULE AND CONVERSION KIT FOR LS130MT

The Lunt Ca-K module and conversion kit offers a unique capability for owners of the LS130MT telescope, allowing them to shift their solar observations from H-alpha to the fascinating Calcium-K (Ca-K) wavelength at 393.4nm. This distinction is crucial as the 393.4nm wavelength reveals different layers of the Sun's atmosphere, primarily the lower chromosphere, offering a unique perspective on solar granulation and magnetic activity that complements H-alpha views. Its design emphasizes mechanical precision and optical quality, ensuring that the existing LS130MT telescope is transformed into a highly capable Ca-K instrument without compromise. The included 2" focuser with its 10:1 reduction is a key feature, providing the granular control necessary for achieving pinpoint focus on the Sun’s surface, which is vital for sharp, detailed observations. Use of original accessories and spare parts prolongs the lifetime of products.
