    Was very well worth the wait.
    Images in the 50mm teamed with a ZWO 174mm camera are amazing. Surface detail, sun spots, and erruptions are clearly imaged.
    Thank you.

    I was quoted 8-10 weeks and get the shipping notification on week 10. It arrived the next day, I was very pleased it arrived in the quoted time. The scope is wonderful! Has great views and feels solid.

  3. Will Robertson

    This is a fantastic solar-viewing telescope! I had some trouble at first finding the sun while looking through the eyepiece, but once I found it….it was absolutely breathtaking! You can definitely tell that Lunt’s telescopes are of a very high quality! I will most certainly keep Lunt in mind for future telescope purchases!

    The Lunt 50mm Hydrogen Alpha solar telescope has been a game-changer for my astronomy hobby, offering breathtaking views of solar prominences, filaments, and chromosphere details. Hosting a solar “star party” with this scope was a hit, sparking wonder and fascination among friends – nobody had ever observed our Sun in such detail before! As an added bonus, my first attempts at solar imaging have yielded amazing results. This well-built, high-performance telescope opens up a new realm of daytime astronomy that will leave you in awe of our Sun’s beauty and power. Highly recommended!
