We received this little piece of feed back the other day from a brand new Lunt owner!  Check out what he had to say.

Hi Rikki,

I have been playing with my new Lunt scope and wanted to tell
you how happy I am with this fantastic instrument!

With my new Tele Vue Binovue's and 24 panoptics, the images
are breathtaking! Almost 3D and incredible!

I can't wait to get the double stack filter to see what that
does, but this is amazing!

Thanks to everyone at Lunt for making such a fine machine!

Sincerely, Tom
 

Thanks Tom for the feed back!  We really do enjoy hearing that you are enjoying your Lunt equipment, it is awesome to see what amazing images and sketches are being produced through our filters and scopes.  Please send us in your pictures so we can post them here on the blog!

Sunspot 1092 has been the main target for most solar observers over the last several days.  While this large sunspot hasn’t produced much activity is has still been quite a view!

July 31, 2010 Eduard Garcia-Ribera of Spain captured some incredible images of 1092.

To capture these images Eduard used his LS100T for H-Alpha, B600 Ca-K Module, and Lunt Solar Wedge on his ED100 refractor.

Keep an eye on the sun, some more active regions as well as sunspot 1093 are slowly coming into view!

We enjoy seeing the images you are taking, please send them in and they could end up on a blog post!

The sun has been in a deep slumber for the past several years, showing very little signs of activity.  Lately this sleeping giant has begun its journey towards what could be a very impressive solar max.  Over the past view days I have seen countless images of several massive filaments and the activity around sunspot 1092.

Below is an image from solar imager Rick Trommer.  Rick captured this impressive image with his LS60THaDS50.  The two massive filaments can be seen as two snake like bodies on the right while in the bottom left sunspot 1092 is quietly gliding across the solar disk.

Be sure to keep an eye on sun as things are just starting to get interesting again!  Please keep sending in your images!
