Just in time for summer, Lunt Solar Systems is happy to announce the new Internal Double Stack Module for the LS100THa!
Double stacking provides a truly enhanced, high definition view of the Sun’s surface details. It lowers the bandpass of the system from <0.7 Angstroms to <0.5 Angstroms, which really makes the surface “pop”!
The LS100THa can be internally double-stacked at the time of purchase or anytime thereafter. The LS100THa does not need to be returned to the factory for double-stacking as long as you have the red anodized front cell on your telescope. If you have an older model (just a white tube with no red) you will need to upgrade the scope before using the internal double stack DSII-LS100T. Should that be your situation, contact us for upgrade information.
Shipments to begin in early June, 2013.
DSII/LSS100T
Retail Price: US$1798.00
I purchased an LS80 earlier this year from the Widescreen Centre in London. Attaching my Canon EOS 5D to the scope I’ve started taking some photos. Here is one of my first attempts (28/08/12 shutter speed 1/40 ISO200).

Here are some pictures taken with my new Lunt 60/BF1200. I’m very happy with the scope and astonished by the quality. All images are made with a DMK21-618.

ISS Sun transit
ISS transiting the Sun captured with: Explore Scientific 102ED APO Telescope + 4x powermate and Nikon D700 on iOptron iEQ45 mount. Focal length 2856mm, focal ratio f/28 and shutter speed 1/2000s @ ISO 320 Solar filter used (is a must to capture it): Lunt Herschel Wedge Viewing conditions: Transparency above average, Seeing poor – average
This picture consists of 5 exposures stacked and is not cropped. It was shot with continuous shooting mode (6fps) in JPEG format. The picture is normally white I added the orange color to see the details better and make it more pleasing to look at.
ISS transit details: ISS distance (range) 541.8km, transit duration 0.71s, transit time around 10:08:08am, Sun altitude 47.0°
Finally after 3months I captured the ISS transiting the Sun. Mainly the bad weather in the past months delayed the capture and the fact it does not happen every week and also it need to be on a weekend (I had to work on weekdays during daylight). Of course I’m not the first to capture it. Thanks go to Phil McGrew for introducing to me and other photographer friends the idea of capturing the ISS transit and what tools are used for calculating such event. And Thanks to Ed Morana for writing the tool to calculate the transit.
AR means active region with sunspots and other activity.
