Lunt Solar Telescope



The Lunt Solar Telescope is one, if not the most popular model of solar telescope on the market and is used by an evergrowing army of enthusiastic amateur astronomers.

Lunt Solar Systems is a well respected manufacturing and sales facility located in Tucson, Arizona. Lunt Solar design, fabricate, assemble, and test a range of solar telescopes and solar filters.

It doesn't matter whether you are looking for a dedicated solar telescope or a solar filter for attachment to your own astronomy telescope there is one to match your needs.

However,due to demand, the Visual and Imaging Packages are generally on a several month wait list.

Lunt Solar Telescope

Visual Package Features

The LS60T/PT Visual Package is a fully integrated, 100% safe, dedicated Solar Telescope.

Narrow Band Hydrogen-alpha (656.28nm) Dedicated System.

A refractor based system with a 60mm front objective.

An internal Etalon with a NEW Pressure Tuner allows for <0.75 Angstrom bandpass, providing a perfect blend of edge and surface detail.

The system includes the clamshell with threaded holes for mounting, dust caps, and is delivered in an Aluminum re-enforced case.

An eyepiece is not included, and although any eyepiece will work, the Lunt Zoom is recommended.

Solar Maximum

As Solar Maximum approaches, the addition of a secondary front mounted interference filter and the upgrade of the rear trimming filter, the visual package quickly becomes a superb visually enhanced instrument with the ability to also image the Sun utilizing basic camera equipment.

Adding the front filter provides a view of the Sun in virtual 3D. An active ball of churning boiling gasses that spew from the surface in what can be violent eruptions. Cause and effect can be viewed and imaged in real time.

An upgrade to the visual system which come standard with the pressure tuning system, putting a research grade instrument into the hands of the observer and the imager

The Imaging Package Features

Ultra-Narrow Band Hydrogen-alpha (656.28nm) Dedicated System.

A 60mm refractor based system with additional 50mm aperture secondary removeable filter.

Dual etalons with the NEW Pressure Tuner allows for <0.5 Angstrom bandpass, providing 3D like enhaced surface detail.

The larger rear trimming filter allows for imaging with most basic camera equipment.

The system includes the clamshell with threaded holes for mounting, dust caps, and is delivered in 2 Aluminum re-enforced cases.

An eyepiece is not included, and although any eyepiece will work, the Lunt Zoom is recommended.




Lunt LS35THa
This scope is a dedicated Hydrogen-alpha telescope and is the most compact 35mm etalon system currently available.

Lunt LS60THa
The front singlet lens reduce half the straylight of an achromat , fully eleminate the possibility for on axis coma, astigmatism, decentering aberrations

Lunt LS80THa
This scope provides a significant step up into the Intermediary category of Daytime Solar Observing

Lunt LS100T
The focal length is 800mm providing a 7.3 mm image thru a 12 mm blocking filter

Lunt LS152
Utilizing both advanced hi-contrast coatings, and the new Doppler True Pressure Tuning system, the user will be able to experience crisp, sharp, high magnification visual images
