Lunt 60mm Universal H-Alpha Solar Telescope B600
The Lunt Solar Systems 60 mm Universal Telescope (LS60MT/B1600R&P) is the most compact and travel-friendly instrument in the new Universal Telescope lineup. Featuring an ED Doublet Lens, this versatile 60 mm scope is designed for multiple wavelengths, making it a true grab-and-go solution that delivers outstanding performance in every configuration.
In its default solar setup with the included Hydrogen Alpha module, the LS60MT allows users to experience solar observation at a professional level. With its 60 mm aperture, this telescope reveals the Sun with remarkable clarity, unmatched in its class.
Thanks to the Doppler True Tuning Pressure System, observers can explore the Sun’s dynamic details, such as prominences, filaments, and active surface regions, with fine-tuned precision. Adjusting internal pressure enables subtle but powerful shifts in the view, unlocking new layers of solar detail.
When the Sun sets, this dual-purpose instrument transitions seamlessly to nighttime astronomy. Within moments, users can switch from solar viewing to exploring deep-sky objects across the galaxy, enjoying both day and night performance with minimal effort.
B600 Blocking Filter (Visual Use)
➜ The B600 is the most economical option, designed primarily for visual solar observing.
➜ Provides a clear view of the solar disk with about 1 mm of surrounding area.
➜ Works best with mounts that have automatic tracking.
➜ For manual tracking, the B1200 is recommended due to its larger field of view.
➜ Supplied in a 2" diagonal housing.
