Product Details

LS60MT Modular Telescope

The LUNT Solar LS60MT is the smallest and most portable model in the new series of modular telescopes. This versatile 60mm scope features an upgraded ED Doublet Lens, delivering superb performance across all available wavelengths. Designed for grab-and-go convenience, the LS60MT ensures exceptional solar views through its included Hydrogen Alpha Module, utilizing a 60mm aperture to present the sun in stunning clarity. Its doppler true tuning pressure system allows ultra-fine solar feature adjustments by modifying internal pressure. The LS60MT is also compatible with popular accessories like TecnoSky Binoviewers, offering both day and night functionality. The new optics make the sun appear to come alive, letting you witness solar features in unmatched detail.

LS60MT Nighttime Telescope

A truly compact powerhouse, the LS60MT from Lunt Solar Systems combines Hydrogen Alpha excellence with effortless transition to nighttime, white light, calcium K, and terrestrial observing at a 70mm aperture in night configuration. Explore solar details like prominences and filaments by day, then switch to deep-sky viewing by night with minimal setup changes. Featuring FPL51 ED Doublet Lens and a rack and pinion focuser, the LS60MT is built for all-round performance, delivering outstanding results in any observing mode—Hydrogen Alpha, White Light, Calcium K, or terrestrial use.

Versatile Telescope

In its standard form, the 60MT supports Hydrogen Alpha and night viewing with minimal additional gear. The 60MT Observer Package enhances this versatility by including all necessary accessories to transition between day and night configurations. Whether you're capturing solar details in Hydrogen Alpha or exploring stars under dark skies, the LS60MT easily adapts to your preferences, offering seamless transitions with included tools.

True Doppler Tuning

The True Doppler Tuning system enables forward and backward spectral shifting, creating a 3D-like solar experience. While it has little impact on solar prominences, it significantly enhances visibility of filaments and active surface regions. For instance, observers can follow a filament’s structure from its base to its tip across the sun’s surface. This feature not only improves visual and imaging performance, but also serves as a valuable research tool for dedicated hobbyists. Additionally, the pressure tuning system provides precise control over target features.
