The sun has slowly been starting to kick up once again and imagers across the globe have been capturing amazing shots!
Peter Desypris of Greece shot these awesome up close images using his LS60THa Double Stack.
Please keep sending in your images and we will post them here on our blog!
The sun has truly started to kick up in activity over the last few days. Yesterday many observers woke to the news that an X2 class flare had emitted and now today a second region of sunspots has come into view. Solar observers and images are urged to go out and take a look! Here are so images captured yesterday morning with an LS100THa and DMK41.

As the end of the year quickly comes to a close things begin to change; many of us think over the past year and look towards the holiday season for a time of giving and warmth. Well here at Lunt Solar we decided to do a little giving this year.
As many people know our Newtonian based LS200THa solar scope never made it to the market and for the passed year the optics and tubes have remained in storage. Well in mid-October 2010 the scopes were officially donated to Stephen Ramsden and his out reach organization known as the Charlie Bates Solar Astronomy Project. These scopes will be distributed as kit projects to Georgia schools to help further the education in science and astronomy! We are quite pleased to know that these scopes will be used for a good purpose. Stephen would like to thank Andy Lunt, Rikki Hocking, Brian Stephens, Alan Traino, Theo Ramakers, Frank Garner, Tim Nix and Tom Sewell for helping making this awesome project come together.
Below are some pictures of the first kit donated being put together:

The sun has been putting on quite a show lately with sun spots 1109, 1110, and 1111 crossing the surface! Images have been popping up across astronomy forums for the last few weeks! The sun is indeed coming alive!
This image was taken a few days ago by solar imager Kevin Fookes and his LS60THa! Impeccable detail seen through out the image!
Please keep sending us your images and we will get them posted up on the blog!

We received these images from a brand new LS60THa Pressure Tune owner in Germany! These are his first images! Thank you for sharing!
We love seeing the awesome images people are producing with their Lunt Solar Systems! Please continue to send them in!
