Lunt LS60MT Premium Kit - 60mm Double Stack Modular Telescope

LS60MT Premium Kit — 60mm Universal Day & Night Modular Telescope Sub-half-angstrom bandpass. Day and night versatility. The ultimate expression of Lunt's 60mm modular platform.

Now with new-generation etalons — every unit individually tested on Lunt's precision metrology equipment. Every specification is verified, not estimated.

The LS60MT Premium Kit combines Lunt's universal day/night platform with double-stack H-alpha performance. The front-mounted LS50FHa tilt-tuned etalon works in series with the internal pressure-tuned module, delivering a combined system bandpass of <0.28Å and dramatically increasing chromospheric contrast over single-stack performance.

Two independently-tuned etalons working together reveal surface structure and Doppler detail that single-stack systems cannot resolve. The internal pressure-tuned module provides instant Doppler shifting across the entire field via Doppler True Barometric tuning, while the front-mounted tilt-tuned etalon adds the additional bandpass narrowing that makes double-stack views so compelling.

What You'll See

At <0.28Å combined bandpass through 60mm of aperture, the chromosphere comes alive with structure invisible at wider bandwidths. Plage boundaries sharpen into defined cellular networks. Filaments resolve into multi-strand structures with complex internal detail. Active regions reveal the full depth of their magnetic architecture. Prominences show threading, flow, and structural evolution from base to tip that single-stack instruments render as smooth featureless arcs.

By night, remove the solar module and double-stack filter and you have a premium 70mm f/6 FLP51 ED doublet refractor — lunar detail, planetary colour correction, and deep-sky capability all included in a single instrument.

Why This Package

The LS50FHa Double Stack filter is included. The B1200 blocking filter provides 12mm of clear aperture for full imaging capability. The 2" dual-speed focuser with 10:1 fine focus handles every accessory you own. The 6" Vixen dovetail provides the extended rail length to balance the system with the double-stack filter mounted. The zoom eyepiece covers every magnification you need in a single twist.
