There's definately stuff to look at :)
Archive for July, 2010
Sunspot 1087 has been a rather active system of the last few days and its still going! There is lots of detail to be see so get out there and check it out!
Here is an image from Stephen Yeathermon of Santa Fe, Texas. Stephen captured this image with his LS60T-HaDS50 on July 16 using a Meade DSI III monochrome camera. Nice shot!

Lunt Solar Systems is a manufacturing and sales facility located in Tucson, Arizona. Lunt Solar design, fabricate, assemble, and test solar telescopes and solar filters. Whether you are looking for a dedicated solar telescope or a solar filter for attachment to you own astronomy telescope, we can help. Solar telescopes models start at $499 for an LS35T (telescope) or the only slightly more expensive LS50F (filter), all the way thru the 152T and the 160F. Solar observing is both fun and educational. Don’t miss out on Solar Maximum. Feel free to contact us with question or comments and we’d be happy to help.
Lunt Solar Systems will be attending the SCAE event at OPT in Oceanside, California this Saturday, July 17th, 2010! If you are in the area please stop by and take a look through our scopes! Andy Lunt will be giving a talk about his recent eclipse trip to Easter Island. Come see him talk and answer any questions you may have!
Hope to see you there!

Its a beautiful display of chaos, power, and energy at it’s finest when we view the sun. Complex active regions,explosive prominences, and surging granulation is what today’s astronomers try to capture with their solar equipment. The ability to capture this dance of beauty and chaos is an art, freezing a moment of time to share to the world.
One of these solar imagers is Eduard Garcia-Ribera from Balaguer, Spain. Eduard has been an amateur astronomer since childhood, now 36, he has an array telescopes from large newtonians to his array of solar filters!
(Eduard Garcia-Ribera with one of his telescopes.)
Eduard began solar imaging with a basic white light filter and small camera 15 years ago. In 2004 he began to do more serious solar observing by purchasing a 60mm H-Alpha filter, since then he has upgraded to array of solar filters. Currently his line up consists of a LS100THa, LS B600 Ca-K module on a 100ED refractor, and a Lunt 2″ Solar Wedge. With these three filter systems Eduard has been able to produce an impressive collection of solar images. Like the ones above, many of his images have been published and put on display.
Eduard’s main scope is his Ls100T which he describes as “a dream come true!” He hopes to one day add an LS152T to further his solar capabilities. He has come a long way since shooting his first solar image, producing some stunning solar images. We hope to see many more amazing images from him in the future especially as the sun heads closer to maximum.

Well Arizona Solar Conference/ALCon 2010 has come and gone, we thank everyone who came out and joined us under the sun! It was truly a great time and we hope to see you all again!
During the event we raffled off hats, shirts, and a brand new LS60THa/B600CPT with Sol Searcher and Zoom Eyepiece; this is one of our most popular scope packages!! The lucky winner of this scope was Gil Bartee! Congratulations Gil, we hope you enjoy it!
Here are some pictures from the event!

The sun is coming alive once again! The past few days sunspot 1084 has given us quite an amazing view with its pinwheel structure.
Please keep sending in your images!
Eduard Garcia-Ribera of Balaguer, Spain shot these images July 1st using his Lunt Solar Wedge and Lunt LS100T!
