The LS50F Kick off the Summer Complete Solar Package…
One of the most asked questions we get is wether to go with a dedicated Solar Telescope, or to buy a front mounted Solar Filter for a customer supplied telescope.
There are advantages to either option, and given Lunt Solar’s advanced internal Pressure Tuning Systems for the dedicated systems we made the decision even more difficult.
This package is designed to get a full introductory package into the hands of those who not only want to observe our closest and very dynamic Star (the Sun), but also want something that can be used for day to day terrestrial activities such as bird watching, and also for use at night for viewing the Moon and other celestrial objects…
We think that you will find this a very difficult package to pass up….
Let’s start with the LS50F..
LS50F Specifications: (single filter)
- Optical Aperture: 50mm
- Etalon: Internal <0.70 Angstrom
- Tuning: Tilt
- Image Scale: Focal Length/110 x 50 = Image Scale
- Focal Length: Customer Telescope
- Storage: Aluminum finished hard case with fitted foam
- Weight: 2 lbs (~1kg)

Add the LS/B600 Blocking Filter…
Let’s add a 60mm F7 Achromatic Doublet Telescope…

This is the same telescope that we use in our CaK packages.
This telescope can be also be used for Terrestrial, Moon, and Planetary observations. It’s transportable and can be set up quickly and easily.
You’ll need a few accessories….
The 1.25″ Lunt Solar Wedge..
This Solar Wedge can be used to observe Sunspot activity on the Surface of the Sun.
We are offering the 1.25″ version in this package.

A 2″ to 1.25″ compression ring adapter..
The 2″ to 1.25″ adapter will be needed to adapt the 1.25″ Solar Wedge to the 2″ crayford style focuser.

The Lunt Zoom Eyepiece…
This eyepiece is a hot seller at Lunt, providing excellent performance in a range of magnifiactions ideal to our Solar Telescopes. We also think you will find it an excellent choice for night observations as well.

The Televue Sol Searcher…
Mounting right onto the clamshell of the 60mm Telescope, this accessory will make finding the Sun quick and easy… and believe me, I have seen many a frustrated person trying to find the Sun without one..

The 4″ Vixen Style Dovetail..
While you may not have a mount that requires the use of the Vixen style dovetail plate, we are including one just in case.
Having a mount with a quick mount dovetail makes set up a breeze.
The clamshell on the LS60 OTA has 3 1/4-20 tapped holes in the base such that it can be mounted to just about any tripod.
