Lunt LS80MT H-alpha solar telescope, B1200 R&P The LS80MT is a universal day-and-night modular telescope built on an 80 mm FPL53 ED doublet. The internal Doppler True pressure-tuned etalon gives uniform bandpass across the field; remove the solar module for an 80 mm f/7 ED refractor at night.

The LS80MT is a universal day-and-night modular telescope built on an 80 mm FPL53 ED doublet. The internal Doppler True pressure-tuned etalon gives uniform bandpass across the field; remove the solar module for an 80 mm f/7 ED refractor at night.
Always use the telescope with its Lunt blocking filter in place; it is a dedicated solar instrument in H-alpha configuration.
