LUNT LS130MT/B3400 Multipurpose Telescope

1. Innovative Modular Design: The LS130MT revolutionizes telescope utility with its unique modularity. The H-Alpha Etalon system can be effortlessly removed, transforming this specialized solar scope into a high-performance 3-lens ED Apochromatic Refractor. This allows seamless transition from detailed solar observation to wide-field night sky viewing and astrophotography, offering exceptional versatility in a single instrument.

2. Exceptional Optical Quality for Dual Use: Equipped with premium ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass, the objective lens ensures superb image clarity and virtually eliminates chromatic aberration, whether observing the sun's surface or distant nebulae. Its apochromatic design makes it a top choice for both demanding visual observation and critical imaging applications, providing crisp, high-contrast views.

3. Advanced H-Alpha Pressure Tuner: For solar observation, the integrated Pressure-Tuner system allows for precise wavelength adjustment of the H-Alpha etalon. This crucial feature enables users to fine-tune the filter for optimal contrast and detail on the solar disk, revealing intricate features like prominences and surface granulation with unparalleled clarity.

4. Precision Focusing and Robust Build: The inclusion of a 2" Feather-Touch Focuser guarantees incredibly smooth and precise adjustments, essential for critically sharp images in both solar and nighttime modes. Constructed with high-quality materials and featuring a durable tube, it is engineered for stability and longevity, making it a reliable instrument for dedicated astronomers.
