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!

About Lunt Solar Systems LLC…

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.

I am going to be moving on to other subjects, but will continue to update this area as we get nearer to the event. Please feel free to contact us with any questions, comments, or suggestions.

We are pleased to announce that Lunt Solar Systems will be sponsoring the 2010 ALCon event in Tucson, Arizona. June 24 thru the 26th.. An opportunity for anyone curious about the night sky to come play and learn.

You will not want to miss this event. Lunt Solar will be hosting it’s 2010 ASC (Arizona Solar Conference) in conjunction with the ALCon event at the Hilton East location. A great venue for both day and night astronomers..

Registration to either event, gets you into both…

A few quick announcements that I want to get out:

Kids are FREE!. That’s right, school kids are invited to attend, look thru the solar scopes, and check out the vendor exhibits. We will have giveaways and educational (okay.. cool posters etc) materials, as well as some really cool door prizes.

We will be having some entertaining exhibits for both kids and adults.

If you are a teacher and would like to bring some kids for a few hours, or the entire day.. You are WELCOME. Please contact us to make arrangements, we will be happy to help.

Some of the exciting activities are still in the planning stages, but please check back often to get updates on the event. Simply search OLCon or ASC at left to grab the posts.
